Dame Rachel De Souza has today (16 March) launched the Childhood Commission - “a once-in-a-generation” review of the future of childhood inspired by William Beveridge’s 1942 report which laid the foundations of the post-war social security system.
The Office of the Children’s Commissioner’s project aims to “identify the barriers preventing children from reaching their full potential, propose policy and services solutions and develop targets by which improvements can be monitored”.
It will be driven by the “Big Ask” - the largest consultation of Britain’s children ever undertaken. It will target all children through children’s charities and the Oak National Academy as well as reaching those in children’s homes, children’s mental health units and the youth custody estate after the Easter holidays.
