Great report out today from UNICEF-UK on children and family life in the UK, compared to other countries. The research, led by my Consumer Kids co-author Agnes Nairn and IPSOS MORI, suggests that Spain, in particular, has got it right.
I have done a blog post, as a member of the Advisory Committee for the research.
Great media coverage, including:
