The Good Childhood Inquiry

The Children's Society's research into what makes a good childhood

"The Good Childhood Inquiry is the UK's first independent national inquiry into childhood.

The inquiry is seeking to open an inclusive debate on what makes for a good childhood today that will shape future policy and inspire all our relationships with children.The inquiry will:

  • Listen to the voices and views of children, young people and adults about their experience and understanding of childhood in the UK today.
  • Identify and address the most important issues facing children and young people in the UK today.
  • Make recommendations to improve the way in which childhood is experienced and understood in the UK today."
