vulnerable children &young people

[saro87]

hi all i have an assignment which is to discuss emerging theories and principles relating to the vulnerability of children and young people. I know i need to discuss very current policies etc i just cant find a starting pointing. I want to say when meeting the needs of these groups became so important to the government? why is it suddenly such an important agenda? I also want to say that it is a cycle, there is all these policies etc but there is still so many people who it doesnt reach or it doesnt work for!! lol rant over just thought someone elses perspective might make things a bit clearer for me so i can start writing something that makes sense!!thank you
