The authors' unique perspective offers insight into the genesis of this policy, situating it within social, political, and historical contexts. They question the validity of constructing social policy around issues of child welfare, providing a nuanced critique that will resonate with students, academics, and researchers in education studies and education policy. This book is an essential resource for understanding New Labour's social reforms, offering a thought-provoking exploration of the implications of Every Child Matters on education and beyond.
