Inquiry Panel Terms of Reference

The aim of The Good Childhood Inquiry panel is to produce an evidence-based report that can help to improve the lives of children and young people in the UK today.

It will consider:

  • What are the conditions for a good childhood?
  • What obstacles exist to those conditions today?
  • What changes could be made which on the basis of evidence would be likely to improve things? These may be changes in the behaviour of parents, teachers, government, voluntary sector or faith organisations, or in society at large.

The report will reflect the views of children and young people obtained in surveys and calls for evidence, as well as the findings of social science.
