The Centre for Young Lives has published a new annual report examining the scale and nature of childhood vulnerability in England. Drawing on data from government departments and the Office of National Statistics, the report looks at the number of children experiencing different forms of vulnerability such as poverty, mental health problems, having Special Educational Needs or Disabilities, or growing up in care. It also recognises that there are many vulnerable children that the data does not capture, whose needs remain hidden. The report calls for the establishment of a new data dashboard on childhood vulnerability and for central government departments to make use of a single unified definition of childhood vulnerability.
