Stepping up: the future for young runaways

Report that builds on existing knowledge about levels of running away. The estimated 100,000 children who run away each year in the UK are, to varying degrees, in need of support and services.

Stepping Up reviews these services and how far the current policy provisions ensure that every child who runs away is adequately safeguarded.
