Our 2025 Child of the North campaign #ChildrenFirst provides updates on our report series ‘A country that works for all children and young people’ and launches practitioner toolkits to support schools, child health services and local authority colleagues to implement expert recommendations. Our aim is to ensure alignment between practitioners on the ground and the government’s work on the Opportunity Mission.
