Atkinson and Harker are to be board members of the independent taskforce set up by charity Kids Company to come up with a new model of delivering services to vulnerable children and young people.
The taskforce is a key element of the charity’s See the Child, Change the System campaign, launched last month, which aims to bring together children’s professionals, policymakers and the public to forge a groundswell of support for reforming social care and mental health services into what the charity calls a truly child-centred system.
