Summary

This begins with a theoretical and conceptual analysis of wellbeing and how this relates to children and childhood. we then consider contemporary wellbeing policy in the four countries of the UK. How these policies have emerged as educational practices and specific wellbeing programmes are then considered. Finally, we conclude this section explaining the measurement of wellbeing and the problematic issues inherent in measuring what we deem to be a fuzzy and complex concept.
