Children and young peoples wellbeing

Children’s and young people’s well-being takes into account the many areas that affect well-being at different stages of their lives. It is important not only to understand what children and young people think is important for their own well-being, but also to think through how other wider more objective circumstances impact upon their well-being. For example, a right to good health and good education, to leisure play and culture, and to an adequate standard of living.
