ED BALLS SHOULD...

 

"Slow down - maintaining a steady pace of improvements will be more effective than a barrage of initiatives that leaves everyone involved feeling dizzy."

"Publish the child health strategy as soon as possible."

"Work to reduce significantly the number of young people in custody and recognize the impact that custody has on children and young people."

"Ensure that the current focus on safeguarding and child protection does not distract national and local leaders from improving all five ECM outcomes and the drive to give all young people happy and fulfilling, as well as safe, childhoods."
