CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE

Giving youth a chance

Alan Wood says this week’s National Children and Adult Services Conference is a chance to celebrate the ground-breaking work local government continues to put into helping children and young people

It's good to be in Manchester for the National Children and Adult Services Conference. The city's whole civic edifice reminds us of the great and grand tradition of the force for good that is local government.

Today, more than ever, we need to be inspired by the innovative and ground breaking traditions of the sector; its imaginative, thoughtful and effective response to the needs of residents and its stubborn determination to keep seeking improvements despite the prevailing winds of economic service pressure.
