The report’s authors are calling for the government to launch an independent commission to investigate how to make holidays a social right.
Speaking at an event in London to launch the report, FHA head of programmes John Kinnear said the benefits of holidays – including strengthening family relationships, providing social experiences and getting children away from electronic media – meant taking a break was now more important than ever.
“The link between getting away form it all and mental wellbeing came back very much stronger than we expected in the research,” he said.
