As Long As It Takes

The Action for Children charity has made headlines with its latest report. Entitled As Long as it Takes: A New Politics for Children, the new publication looks back at the last 21 years of government policy, and claims to find over 400 policy changes which have had a significant impact on the lives of children. The report argues that short-term gains and party politics should be set aside, so that a coherent long-term strategy for improving the lives of children can be put together.
