Princess Kate’s Foundation has published a new important framework to help society “thrive”.
The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood has today published a new framework aimed at improving awareness of and knowledge about social and emotional skills to inspire action across society.
This forms part of the Princess of Wales’s continued mission to create a happier, healthier society.
Kate, 43, believes that social and emotional skills are what shape who we are, how we manage our emotions and thoughts, how we communicate with and relate to others, and how we explore the world around us.

In addition, they all have their foundations in early childhood and continue to be refined and enhanced throughout our lives.
Writing in the foreword to today’s report, Princess Kate said: “To create a physically and mentally healthier society, we must reset, restore, and rebalance…
“That means taking a profound look at ourselves and our own behaviours, emotions, and feelings.
“It means getting much better at acting with compassion and empathy towards one another… better understanding how we can protect and build upon what connects and unites us… and acknowledging that society is something we build together, through the actions we take every day.

“At the heart of all of this is the need for us to develop and nurture a set of social and emotional skills which we must prioritise if we are to thrive.”
Christian Guy, the Executive Director of The Centre for Early Childhood said: “It is time that we recognised and acted upon the undeniable significance of social and emotional skills and give them the recognition they deserve.
“Getting this right in early childhood, when we lay the foundations upon which these skills continue to grow throughout our lives – could have a truly profound impact on the future of individuals and of our society.”
The new framework released today aims to help those working across disciplines to communicate effectively, speaking with one voice to raise awareness of the critical importance of social and emotional skills and build a shared understanding of their development.
