THEMES
Young Children's Voices

Why Early Years Matters
Children's early years are the most formative and crucial for later life and play a key role in their overall development.

Play is necessary, every child’s right, and needs to be taken seriously. But play isn’t always understood or prioritised, and the additional challenge of poverty means that children are missing out.
