Good Childhood Resources and Information
This year's well-being report has shown that children's happiness with life is at its lowest since 2009.
We look more closely at the issues affecting young people today.

Almost a quarter of a million 10-15 year olds in the UK are unhappy with their lives. This isn't what growing up should be like.
Children have been telling us loud and clear about the issues they face, but not enough people have been listening to them. More and more young people are unhappy with their friends, school and appearance. They struggle as a result of their family finances and worry about what their future might be like. On top of that there are increasing concerns around crime, climate change and the dangers of technology.
Only by listening to young people can the Government understand the issues they face and make the changes they need to see. But right now, they have no way of knowing how childhoods measure up.
That's why we're calling on the Government to bring in a national well-being measure.
Together we can make a change and make sure young people are heard.
