Save Childhood

The Save Childhood Movement is an organisation which announced its official launch yesterday. There's no definitive mission statement on their website (at least as far as I can see) but essentially they're concerned with ideas about the erosion of childhood in the modern world, and the affect that this can have on children's wellbeing. This article - <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/shortcuts/2012/jun/27/why-british-children-so-unhappy" target="_blank"><i>Why are British Children So Unhappy?</i></a> - summarises some of the issues that the organisation aims to highlight and confront.<br /><br />The Save Childhood Movement is backed by a number of well known names in the early years sector, so I suspect that it'll be mentioned quite a lot in the press over the coming months. You can read more about it and related research on <a href="http://www.savechildhood.net/" target="_blank">their website</a>.
