The State of London's Children Report 2007

In October 2007, the Mayor published the third State of London's Children Report. This allows us to see where London’s children’s lives are getting better, and what has deteriorated or stayed the same, compared to the rest of the country and since the last report in 2004.

The report has three versions: a full report, an executive summary and a child-friendly version.
