Catch up with research from the childhood season during March 2009.

How has childhood changed?
  • ´óÏó´«Ã½ Wales commissioned research from The Institute of Welsh Affairs (IWA) to find out how childhood has changed for today's generation. The report was based on conversations with children and adults around Wales aged 10 and 11 in their final year of primary school, along with parents, carers and grandparents.
