The Byron Review has been published today. I'll be looking at it in more detail, but so far I have to say I'm impressed by the fact that there is a separate report on brain development in childhood and a report on the impact of new technologies on children, amongst other reports, and a publication aimed at children themselves.

Read on for the full details of the publications referred to and where you can find them.
