Adults scared to let children out to play with their friends, survey reveals
Research for The Children’s Society found 43% of adults think children should not be allowed out with their friends until 14 or over, even though most of them were allowed to play unsupervised from the age of 10 or younger when they were children.
The survey, which forms part of the charity’s Good Childhood Inquiry, also found that 22% of over-60s thought children should be over 16 before going out on their own.
