NCB Now: Investigating young children's wellbeing

1 min read
The Early Childhood Unit is working in partnership with London Metropolitan University's Early Years Team and the Early Childhood Forum on a project to explore ideas about young children's wellbeing and how it can best be supported.

We all agree that children's wellbeing is paramount, but it is a complex concept that may have different meanings to the wide range of professionals who work with young children.

The project is made up of four elements, the first being a series of seminars. Between February and June four took place at NCB and London Metropolitan University, designed to bring various stakeholders together to debate what wellbeing means for children and their families. There were presentations from experts, followed by table discussions on the concept of wellbeing and effective practice. A final seminar will take place this autumn.
