The first major evaluation of the impact of Every Child Matters is published today (14 May). It shows just how much has changed some four years after the biggest shake-up of children's and young people's services in a generation.
The report, Evaluating the Early Impact of Integrated Children's Services, is published by the Local Authority Research Consortium, which includes 14 local authorities, the National Foundation for Educational Research, Research in Practice, the Local Government Association and the Improvement and Development Agency.
It records the state of play on outcomes achieved for children and families by focusing on three groups of vulnerable children: children in care, those on the autistic spectrum and those with poor school attendance at Key Stage 3. It does this across 14 councils, chosen to reflect the range of local authorities across England.
