The Spring edition of the Journal of Children’s Services (Issue 6.1, March 2011) is now available.

In it Jonathan Bradshaw and Antonia Keung from the University of York chart trends in the subjective well-being of young people aged 11–15 over the period 1994-2008, using data from the British Household Panel Survey.
