The conference takes its title from the fact that between birth and 16-years-old, children attend school for only nine minutes of every waking hour (based on the assumption of full attendance for six hours a day for 38 weeks each year and ten hours sleep).
Aimed at decision-makers and planners, the conference will examine innovative solutions to provide children and young people with opportunities to play, socialise and develop in the remaining 51 minutes. In doing so it will suggest options for supporting young people's personal and social development and offer insights into ways of tackling antisocial behaviour, community development, neighbourhood renewal, improving health and wellbeing and other issues of importance to individuals, communities and local and national government. It will culminate in a call for action at local and national level.
