Every Child Matters
The Government's aim is for every child, whatever their background or their circumstances, to have the support they need to:
- be healthy
- stay safe
- enjoy and achieve
- make a positive contribution
- achieve economic well-being
When asked what they regard as their priorities, children and young people consistently reply that they would like more "things to do and places to go".
Museums can play a unique role in helping to deliver the Every Child Matters: Change for Children agenda, by:
- helping to deliver the five outcomes, particularly enjoying and achieving and making a positive contribution
- being involved as partners in children's trusts and contributing to Children and Young People's Plans
- supporting families and promoting diversity
- providing positive out-of-school activities for children and young people
