Society fails to support many children. However, we can do better. A difficult family environment, a missed diagnosis, a disrupted education, the company of the wrong crowd. Every year, thousands of children slip through the cracks of our society and become victims of a destructive cycle that leads to exploitation, violence, and lost life opportunities. In her role as the Children's Commissioner for England, Anne Longfield CBE witnessed the devastating effects of this cycle as vulnerable young people were failed by systems that are too underfunded and overburdened to protect them. Young Lives, Big Ambitions is a plan of action to fix the broken system and give every young person the chance to succeed.
