In the Outlook series of articles, we bring together leading decision-makers, thinkers and practioners from the children's voluntary and public sector to share their views on policy affecting children and children's charities. We hope you find them challenging and thought-provoking, and we hope they add to your understanding of what works, what doesn't work and what's possible in working with and for children. If you have anything to add to the debate, please just get in touch!
