National Children’s Day UK (NCDUK) is all about the importance of a healthy childhood and how we need to protect the rights and freedoms of children and young people in order to ensure that they can become happy, caring and connected adults.
From family videos to school and community events, local authority initiatives, talks, seminars and youth led campaigns, it’s a great opportunity for everyone to raise national awareness about the things they care about – and especially about the impact of COVID on children and young people.
Last week leading up to NCDUK2021 was Mental Health Awareness Week, so NCDUK
helped to share national concerns about the huge impact of COVID on children’s long-term health and wellbeing – and what we can do about it.
NCDUK want to help celebrate all the fantastic people and organisations that have been working so hard to protect child and family wellbeing. This year NCDUK are also partnering with The Children’s Voice www.thechildrensvoice.net and its supporters, so that they can give
children and young people the opportunity to share their own thoughts about how we can create a safer and happier world.
Why is this so important? Because children are currently struggling and because happy, healthy and secure children create flourishing societies.
The conversation continues on social media #NCDUK2021
