The Care Matters White Paper issued in 2007 set out an ambitious programme of change to improve the outcomes of children in care. The Department said it would review progress annually.

This report was launched at the Ministerial Stocktake Conference on 16 November 2009. It sets out what has been achieved so far, and the plans for 2010. This the young person's version of the report.

Care Matters set out a vision to ensure that in the future children in care would have the same opportunities in life as their peers – a good education, good health care, and consistent support, advice and practical help to give them strong foundations on which they can build happy and successful lives.
