The Big Ask

FAO: All Schools/ All Staff and Governors

FYI

Dame Rachel de Souza, the Children’s Commissioner for England, has just launched the Childhood Commission, a once-in-a-generation review of the future of childhood. This review will identify the barriers preventing children from reaching their full potential, put forward solutions and set ambitious goals for the country to achieve.

The first stage of this work is gathering the views, opinions and experiences of all children.  She is carrying out the largest ever consultation with children in England, called The Big Ask, to find out what children’s concerns and aspirations about the future are.  Her ambition is to reach every child – the more she hears from, the stronger this work will be.

The Big Ask will be launched on Monday 19 April.
