Every child matters in health care.

The article focuses on the effect of the "Every child matters" (ECM) green paper on statutory services, agencies, and therapists in Great Britain. The ECM legislation aims to promote the health, safety, and economic well-being of children. It claims that ECM demands the merging of services for children, thus urging professionals to rethink their strategies and service deliveries. Moreover, ECM caused the publication of service development plans by county councils to attain their objectives.
