This meeting was an opportunity to review why measuring children’s wellbeing is important and what impact a systematic approach could have on policy making. It explored why we do not yet systematically measure the wellbeing of children.
Participants discussed the strength of the case for measuring children’s wellbeing and what would help move measurement, as well as policy and practice forward for the UK to invest in better childhoods.
