<p>Every Child Matters refers to a 2003 green paper that sets out a high-level approach
to improving children’s and young people’s wellbeing. The department, including under
previous administrations, has not conducted a separate assessment of its impact on
social mobility. However, research and evaluations of a range of programmes and policies
proposed in Every Child Matters are published on GOV.UK and relevant national archive
sites, for example: <a href="https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20090810165308/http:/www.dcsf.gov.uk/everychildmatters/research/"
target="_blank">https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20090810165308/http://www.dcsf.gov.uk/everychildmatters/research/</a>.</p><p>Social
mobility remains one of this government’s top priorities. We strongly believe that
everyone should have the chance to fulfil their potential, and where you start in
life should not determine future success. Since 2010 we have transformed opportunities
for young people, including more children who are in good and outstanding schools.
We’re targeting extra support at the poorest areas of the country to raise standards
in schools and attract great teachers, and more young people from disadvantaged backgrounds
are going to university.</p>
