The Childhood and Families: Research and Development Centre, based at the University of Strathclyde, aims to investigate ways to best support the parents and carers of young children.
Ms Jamieson said she hoped the centre would provide a valuable voice in discussions on early years services. She said, 'I was pleased to see that this will be a centre for policy development as well as research. Many of the themes of the centre's development work are ones which lie at the very heart of the Scottish Executive's current early years agenda, for example social inclusion, inter-agency collaboration, and working in partnership with families and communities. I hope the centre can contribute to wider early years developments by acting as a source of services, information and ideas.'
