A new report from The Children’s Society: Understanding children's well-being
Report based on a major survey of young people’s well-being in England
The Children’s Society in collaboration with the University of York, has published the first report on a major survey of young people’s well-being in England.
Understanding children's well-being is part of an ongoing research programme from The Children’s Society which aims to understand what impacts on young people’s well-being and will also monitor changes in well-being over time.
Understanding children's well-being follows the 2009 publication, A good childhood - Searching for values in a competitive age, a report commissioned by The Children’s Society as the UK's first independent inquiry into what makes for a good childhood.
Understanding children's well-being was a survey of 7,000 children and young people aged 10-15 years. The interim report found that family conflict is the biggest factor in causing unhappiness in children. Other significant findings were that 16% felt unhappy because they did not feel confident and 17.5% had concerns about their appearance.
