Right now, we’re seeing a system that continues to fail children. Our frontline services see more children at risk of harm, rising numbers of children taken into care, and an increase in child poverty. This isn’t just bad luck.

We won’t stop fighting until every child grows up safe and happy.

But alone, our voice isn’t enough. Change is only possible with supporters like you behind us.

Sign a petition, contact your MP, or share our campaigns with friends and family. When you do, you’re joining a movement improving the lives of children in the UK

The UK could be the best place in the world to grow up. But right now, it isn’t.

That's why we've been working closely with Barnardo’s, The Children’s Society, the National Children’s Bureau and NSPCC. Together, we're calling for safer, happier, healthier childhoods to be a national priority.

Our campaigners have acted to change lives. More children are now protected because of these changes to laws and policies.

Here’s what we’ve achieved with your support:

• UK law now recognises children affected by domestic abuse as victims in their own right.
• In England and Wales, sustained emotional abuse against children is now a crime.
• In Wales, young people can choose to stay in foster care for longer.
