Final report from Anne Longfield's Commission on Young Lives calls on Government to lead the fight back through 'Sure Start Plus', a national plan to prevent teenagers becoming involved in criminal exploitation, gangs, and serious violence
Anne Longfield CBE, Chair of the Commission on Young Lives, is today publishing her year-long Commission's final report, 'Hidden in Plain Sight: A national plan of action to support vulnerable teenagers to succeed and to protect them from adversity, exploitation and harm'.
The Commission's report proposes a new 'Sure Start Plus for Teenagers' network of intervention and support as the centrepiece of a wide range of recommendations to government, the police, schools, and others to tackle the deep-rooted problems in the children's social care, education, family support, children's mental health, and criminal justice systems.
