The Centre for Young Lives responds to the Spending Review

Last week the Chancellor shared the outcome of Phase Two of the Spending Review, which set planned day-to-day spending totals for all government departments for the rest of this parliament. We at the Centre for Young Lives welcome the extra investment in children’s social care, housing, the NHS, as well as commitments to expand the family hubs programme and a Schools White Paper in the Autumn, all of which have the potential to improve the lives of children, young people and their families.
