The Well-Being of Children in the UK cover

Now in its fourth edition, this is the classic assessment of the state of child well-being in the United Kingdom. This edition has been updated to review the latest evidence, examining the outcomes for children of the impact of the economic crisis and austerity measures since 2008. It is an invaluable resource for academics, students, practitioners and policy makers concerned with child welfare and wellbeing.

"With chapters written by exceptional authors, rich data, intra and inter national comparison and above all the leadership of Prof Bradshaw this is a most valuable publication for anyone who cares about children, wants to know more about their life and to promote their well-being." Asher Ben-Arieh, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel
“In the absence of an official `State of the Nation’ report on child well-being in the UK, this volume – like its predecessors – is the place to go. Offering rigorous and dispassionate analysis of the evidence, it makes sense of where we are and points to what needs to be done.” Nick Axford, Head of What Works, Dartington Social Research Unit
“This wide-ranging, information-dense, analytic yet accessible text will appeal to a multi-disciplinary audience. Students, researchers, policymakers and on-the-ground practitioners will find this a relevant, up-to-date and comprehensive resource… This book makes a significant contribution to helping to promote a realistic, research-informed understanding of children’s wellbeing.” Children’s Geographies
