Free range children, an afternoon policy discussion to be held in Westminster – Daycare Trust
Daycare Trust Event on Tuesday 17 March 2009
This forthcoming policy discussion entitled “Free range children” will debate a multi-disciplinary approach to improving the health and happiness of children.
What can professionals working with children do to provide truly life enhancing experiences for children? In these days of integrated working through Children’s Centres and the like – what resources can be brought together to make sure our children are happy and healthy and not cooped-up and miserable like battery kids?
Some of the leading experts in this field will join us to discuss what we hope will be a longer debate, exploring the best way for health, early years and play agenda to work together in fostering children’s health and happiness.
