ALT It's encouraging to hear how the Children’s Wellbeing Bill plans to tackle many of the issues the Children's Charities Coalition has campaigned hard for, like the unique identifier number for children and for reversing years of underfunding in early help services.

Children and families desperately need - and deserve - sustained investment in early help services, mental health support and children’s social care. This needs to be underpinned by an ambitious strategy to tackle child poverty.
