State of the nation 2020: children and young people’s wellbeing

The report presents a collection of indicators of children and young people’s wellbeing following the structure of the Office for National Statistics’ seven domains of wellbeing for children and young people1. The report is about children and young people aged 5 to 24 years in England, though many of the indicators, for pragmatic reasons, relate to children and young people across Great Britain and the United Kingdom. In general, data is limited to the March to August period, though some indicators have been extended to September to improve the evidence available. As a result, evidence on any effects of the return to full education is not captured in this report
