Duchess of Cambridge launches childhood survey to help under-fives
The Duchess of Cambridge has launched a UK-wide survey to help improve early childhood.
The five-question online survey aims to “spark a national conversation” to help create “lasting change for generations to come”, Kensington Palace said.
Speaking at the launch event Kate said: “What we experience between the ages of 0 and five shapes the developing brain.
“As a parent I know how much we cherish the future health and happiness of our children. I want to hear the key issues affecting our families and communities so I can focus my work on where it is needed most.”
The survey poses these five questions:
- What do you believe is most important for children growing up in the UK today to live a happy adult life?
- Whose responsibility is it to give children aged 0-5 the best chance of health and happiness?
- How much do you agree with: the mental health and the wellbeing of parents and carers has great impact on the development of their children.
- Which of the following is closest to your opinion of what influences how children develop from the start of pregnancy to age five?
- Which period of a child and young person’s life do you think is the most important for health and happiness in adulthood?
The survey will be open until 21 February.
