Every Child Matters
Every Child Matters    

This is a new approach to the well-being of children and young people from birth to age 19. The Government's aim is 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-being

This means that the organisations involved with providing services to children - from hospitals and schools, to police and voluntary groups - will be teaming up in new ways, sharing information and working together, to protect children and young people from harm and help them achieve what they want in life. In the future you will have the right to contribute to issues that affect you as individuals and as a school

Children Learn What They Live             
by Dorothy Law Neite
If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn. 
If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight. 
If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy. 
If a child learns to feel shame, he learns to feel guilty. 
If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient. 
If a child lives with encouragement he learns confidence 
If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate. 
If a child lives with fairness, he learns justice. 
If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith. 
If a child lives with approval, he learns to like himself. 
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship, he learns to find love in the world.
