As Children’s Commissioner it is my duty to promote and protect the rights of all children, with particular regard to children who are living away from home or receiving social care services. My priority is to listen to children across the country, to hear about their lives and champion their voices.
Our priority areas
The Big Ambition
We have launched The Big Ambition, a national survey of children and young people across England.
In the lead up to the next General Election, The Big Ambition aims to hear from children and young people across England on what they think is important!
Family Review
The Family Review seeks to understand what family means to people, how services support families, and what can be done to improve services.
The Big Ask
Over half a million children responded to The Big Ask, the largest ever survey of children. The Big Answer report shares their responses and our answer.
