Narrowing the gap in outcomes

Since the publication of the Children Act (2004), local authorities (LAs) and their partners have been working to support and improve outcomes for all children and young people in relation to the Every Child Matters (ECM) agenda and the five outcomes. The work of LAs includes a focus on improving the outcomes for vulnerable groups of children and young people which, in LAs’ target data, often has a focus on ‘narrowing the gap’ between these groups and all children and young people.
