Every Child Matters

Every Child Matters

Every Child Matters, or ECM for short, is a UK government initiative that was launched in 2003, at least partly in response to the death of Victoria Climbié. It has been the title of three government papers and the website [http://www.everychildmatters.gov.uk www.everychildmatters.gov.uk] , and led to the Children Act 2004. The word child applies to anyone under the age of 19.

Its main aims are for every child, whatever their background or their circumstances, to have the support they need to:
*Be healthy
*Stay safe
*Enjoy and achieve
*Make a positive contribution
*Achieve economic well-beingEach of these themes has a detailed outcomes framework attached to it, which requires multi-agency partnership working to achieve.
