The Good Childhood
The Good Childhood Inquiry was commissioned by The Children's Society and launched in September 2006 as the UK's first independent national inquiry into childhood. Its aims were to renew society's understanding of modern childhood and to inform, improve and inspire all our relationships with children.
This new work, led by our Director of Research, Gwyther Rees, and developed in collaboration with Professor Jonathan Bradshaw at the University of York, explores the foundations of childrens’ well-being and will become an important benchmark for the well-being of children and young people in England today.
