The Save Childhood Movement was launched in April 2013 and consists of a growing and multi-disciplinary collaboration of individuals and organisations that share a deep concern about societal values and wellbeing in the UK and the current erosion of natural childhood. It has a particular interest in how modern culture impacts the values and mindsets of children, especially in the early years.
With a number of expert advisory groups under development, the movement aims to identify and highlight the areas of most concern, to protect children from inappropriate developmental and cultural pressures and to fight for their natural developmental rights. It also aims to provide a critical platform for dialogue and debate, to share and promote examples of inspirational practice and to help source innovative and child-centred solutions.
