As part of the Children At The Table campaign, the Children’s Charities Coalition made up of Action for Children, Barnardo’s, National Children’s Bureau, NSPCC and The Children’s Society came together at Labour Party Conference 2024 to ensure children’s voices were heard loud and clear.

The Coalition worked alongside children and young people who put their powerful messages forward to the new Government.

Children and young people put their voices front and centre of our reception ‘Children At The Table: How will the Labour Government be champions for change for babies, children and young people?’
