The Children & Young People Now Awards showcase innovation and outstanding practice in services supporting children, young people and families across the UK.

They provide an all-too-rare opportunity to champion the vital work of the children’s services sector to policymakers, funders, colleagues and commissioners, and society in general.

The standard of entries in 2023 was exceptionally high and the passion to improve outcomes for children and families shone through every one of the 117 shortlisted entrants.

Last year saw the launch of a new category – supporting child refugees – to counter the widely negative portrayal of asylum and immigration in the media and among politicians. This feature looks at the outstanding work of some of the shortlisted entrants in that category.
