The Department for Children, Schools and Families was set up by the government on 28th June 2007 with the aim of consolidating services for children and achieving a high standard of eduction for children throughout society; in order that each child reaches their potential.
According to the website, the department “will now focus on the significant challenges that remain - raising standards so that more children and young people reach expected levels, lifting more children out of poverty and re-engaging disaffected young people. The new structure will also allow us to respond to new challenges that will affect children and families: demographic and socio-economic change; developing technology; and increasing global competition.”[1]
