In the twenty-first century, we need every young person to flourish and achieve their potential; the well-being of young people is certainly an issue of our time.
We are proud to publish this collection of short essays brought thoughtfully together by the National Children’s Bureau, which explore through seven think pieces the role of schools, educators and wider society in young people’s lives.
The authors seek to answer the question, ‘How can we improve the lives of children and young people?’ and examine how these elements ‘connect’, putting forward compelling arguments for them working more closely with each other towards better well-being outcomes.
