Who will look out for the vulnerable in a decade of disadvantage?

Prospects for vulnerable children and young people are bleak, and it is everyone's job to look after them, says Bob Reitemeier

What will the world of children and young people in Britain look like in 2020, following years of rising child poverty, record unemployment, dramatic welfare reform and widespread public sector cuts?

 In the next 10 years, whose voices will speak out on behalf of the disadvantaged children and families in our society, and what solutions will they offer?

To truly reverse the current tide of disadvantage we will need to convince hundreds of thousands of citizens that they, too, should speak up on behalf of those less fortunate than themselves.
