As five of the UK's leading children’s charities, we have come together to call for children and young people to be at the heart of the next Government
We’re working with young people to bring their voices to the table and talk about the issues that affect them. We want to make childhoods safer, happier and healthier, and give children equal access to opportunities.
This is the situation children and young people are facing today:
- 1 in 5 babies aren’t receiving their entitled health visiting check at one year old
- 4.2 million children in the UK are living in poverty
- 1.4 million children are estimated to have a mental health disorder
- Less than 4 in 10 children in the UK feel positive about the future of the country and the future of the world
We can and should do better - we need Children at the Table.
