The Act’s aim is to ensure that every child has the chance to fulfil their potential by reducing levels of educational failure, ill health, substance misuse, teenage pregnancy, abuse and neglect, crime and anti-social behaviour among children and young people.

● Being healthy
●Staying safe
● Enjoying and achieving
● Making a positive contribution
● Economic well-being

Making sure that their breathing quality is very good, so plenty of fresh air, no pollutants and no moisture or mould. Keeping a child healthy means owning several products that are better for the child because of chemical
