The Department of Education (DfE) is responsible for education and children’s services. It means they get a very thorough overview of the position of children and the way in which they should be developed to become well-rounded adults who can contribute to society. It includes setting the National Curriculum and Early Years Foundation Stage and the setting up and administering of the School league tables.
These documents are put into effect by schools and nurseries; therefore it is also the DfE’s task to improve the calibre of service available to children. It means the realisations of the five outcomes of Every Child Matters: “enjoy and achieve, stay safe, be healthy, achieve economic well-being, make a positive contribution.”
