About this title

Synopsis

Although outcomes for most children are good, the rate of psychosocial problems for children in the UK remains worryingly high, with particular concerns existing over child poverty, disparities in health and education outcomes, and young people's mental health. This report from The Commission on Families and the Wellbeing of Children addresses these critical issues in the context of the relationship between the state and the family. It considers ways in which the state should support families in their caring responsibilities and the difficult balance to be struck between the caring and control functions of the state in family governance.

Its secretary is Clem Henricson, Director of Research and Policy at the National Family and Parenting Institute. The Commission was established by the Institute and NCH, with funding from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.
