How the natural environment can support children and young people.
Abstract
This briefing note is one of a series that summarises evidence of the links between the natural environment and a range of outcomes. This briefing focuses on how the natural environment can support children and young people. The notes are aimed at: policy makers, practitioners, practice enablers (including Natural England), local decision makers, and the wider research community. They highlight some of the implications for future policy, service delivery and research. It is intended that this note will help to inform practitioner planning, targeting and rationales, but not the identification of solutions or the design of interventions.
