This lecture explored the contemporary policy agenda for children and young people living in England. The major focus of the lecture was on the relationship between the state and modern childhood.

The lecture then moved on to examine the state of contemporary British childhood. A series of recent research and policy reports have suggested that British children inhabit a world that compares negatively to children in otherwise comparable societies. Childhood and youth are also a high profile and frequent
concern of the mass media headlines and political debate.

The lecture then focused on this seeming tension between the interventionist Every Child Matters agenda and the poor outcomes for children in England.

The lecture drew on some of Nicks research and his experience as a consultant and teacher in the field of child welfare.
