The UK’s Children: Is it Time for a New Deal?
Jericho partnered with the largest independent funder for children and young people in North and West London, John Lyon’s Charity over concerns that what used to be considered core for state provision seems to have shrunk. Consequently, the Charity has seen increasing demands for its grants, as it knows others also have.
So, what is to be done? Is it time to reconsider how we regard the young? Which interventions work and which are less successful? Why have there been seven ministers for young people since 2010? And, is it time for a dedicated, full-time minister for young people? Jericho co-hosted a workshop to explore the perception of children, the lack of government representation for the CYP sector and children’s and young people’s voices remaining unheard and unsought.
