Campaigns & Policy

4Children has been influencing and shaping social policy for almost 30 years. In that time we have successfully campaigned for greater access to childcare and out of school activities, Sure Start Children’s Centres, MyPlace youth clubs and better support for families.

4Children campaigns all have one thing in common – they are about putting the needs of children and families at the top of the agenda. Using our policy and research work and our experience of providing services for children and families, we lobby Government and other opinion formers to make the changes necessary to deliver our vision of a society where every child in every community has the chance to achieve their full potential and every parent has the support they need to enable their family to flourish.

See our policy and research section for information about other high profile lobbying work we undertake, including the Family Commission and the Make Space Youth Review.
