In 2023, the Programme Office came up with a Plan for its first few years that wanted to work on a few things that were really important to children. Some of the most important things that have changed are:


1 Families are getting more help with money, like higher payments and wages
2 It is getting cheaper to send children to childcare
3 Some schools are getting extra support to make it fair for all children
4 There are more services in the community for families to be able to use.All children now get free schoolbooks, and many get meals in school
5 More children can take part in sports, arts, and activities
