Sir Al Aynsley-Green, a distinguished public servant with a remarkable 40-year career, poses a thought-provoking question: why do the United Kingdom's children continue to face poor outcomes in health, education, social care, youth justice, and poverty, despite being among the developed world's developed nations? He conducts global comparisons and provides insightful observations of the realities of being a young person in Britain today, highlighting how government policies have tragically failed children on a grand scale.
Sir Al emphasizes the importance of prioritizing the support and empowerment of all children, including those with disabilities or disadvantages. He advocates for designing services that cater to their unique needs, recognizing the need for a brave and timely alternative for the UK. By fostering local communities, shifting national attitudes, and bridging barriers between sectors, Sir Al presents a fresh and realistic road map that can enable new generations of children to reach their full potential.
This book is a must-read for those involved in children's services, policy, and parenting in the UK. Sir Al addresses the obstacles and attitudes faced by young people today with tact, honesty, and compassion, offering his vision of a society where every child is valued and cherished. His profound insights and unwavering commitment to children's well-being make this a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate about their future.
