The Childhood Lottery looks at a range of data and statistics to get a picture of what it is like growing up in different areas across England.  The Commissioner also spoke to hundreds of children to hear first-hand their experiences of childhood and growing up in their local neighbourhoods. 

Many of the children are very proud of their roots and where they come from, but in some cases the inequality of where they live is stark.
The report makes for interesting reading and sets out a challenge to senior leaders and politicians to ensure all children have a fair, good, safe and equitable childhood, and the current status quo is not simply accepted.
