The Every Child Matters (ECM) agenda is, as argued by Walker (2008), the most radical programme of change yet seen, aimed at improving the outcomes for all children and families. Consequently, ECM prompted a significant move towards a joined up work force reform. In this paper, I will examine the concept of the ‘multi-agency team’ and the roles, responsibilities and dilemmas faced by the professionals working within it. Through critical analysis, I will discuss the collaboration between agencies: looking at legislation and policies that the government has put into place to drive this and reflect on the benefits of multi-agency working as well as the possible challenges and barriers. The intention of this assignment is to explore the roles and responsibilities of professional agencies working with children and their families.

She also suggests that sixteen year olds should be allowed to open lines of credit with a parental co-signer until one year of consecutive, on-time payments have been made. The teen would be required to complete a course in financial literacy to be able to open a line of credit.
