The Local Authority Targets (Well-Being of Young Children) Regulations 2007
Section 1(1) of the Childcare Act 2006 (“the Act”) places a duty on an English local authority (“an authority”) to improve the well-being of, and reduce inequalities between, young children in the authority’s area. These Regulations set out the process to be followed by the Secretary of State in setting targets under section 1(3) of the Act with regard to that duty. “English local authority” is defined in section 106 of the Act.
