This NSF includes standards covering both health and social care services, and a key theme of this Emerging Findings document is the importance of integrated working between health and social care to support children who are disabled, who have mental health problems, or who are otherwise in special circumstances. For many children this joined-up working is essential to improving the quality of their lives and future life chances. The objective of this NSF is to improve the standard of services and reduce inequalities in care and support services. It provides a landmark in the development of services for children and young people and a real opportunity to give them, and pregnant women, the best start in life to prepare them for getting the most out of going to school, to deal with the problems which all children face during their childhood and, later, to take their place as active citizens in society.
