Every child’s future matters

Abstract

Following the release of its 'Every child matters' programme, the Department for Children, Schools and Families (now the Department for Education) asked the SDC to explore how the environment might affect the success of their initiative. Written for anyone working to improve the lives of children, 'Every child's future matters', argues that children must be able to get around safely by foot and bicycle, use our streets for social activity and play, and connect with nature in green and natural spaces.
