Every Child matters is a UK government initiative that begun in 2003, partly because of Victoria Climbe’s death. Every Child Matters covers children and young adults from birth to the age of 19 or the age of 24 for those with disabilities. It’s their goal to ensure that families and children get the right services and understanding they need from professionals. They also believe that every child should be given the chance to work towards and achieve their goals.

They also intend on reducing the amount of teenage pregnancies and the amount of young people that aren’t in employment, education or training.
