Our mission is to see the #BeeWell approach embedded across England – putting young people’s voices at the heart of youth wellbeing policy.
We are calling on policy makers to commit to a national programme of youth wellbeing measurement, learning from #BeeWell as an example of how to deliver it.
In just three years, #BeeWell has already generated significant momentum towards achieving this. Please see below for a list of reports highlighting the need for a national rollout of measurement programmes like #BeeWell in their calls for action.
