Nursery World - How NatCen's new Centre for Children and Families will take research to a new level

The director of NatCen's new Centre for Children and Families on how it intends to go further with research to support young children and families

Tina Haux, director of NatCen's Centre for Children and Families

The inaugural conference of the Centre for Children and Families took place on 27 June at City, University in London.

The event brought together researchers from the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen), academia and the voluntary sector discussing issues and potential solutions around inequality and education right from the early years to education and employment post-16 in the UK.

The after-shocks of Covid-19 will be felt for a long time to come and a range of research data, collected from surveys such as the Study for Early Education and Development (SEED), Mental Health of Children and Young People (MHCYP) and also the cohort studies commissioned by the Department for Education will help us assess the longer term impacts of the loss of education. Families and Children are at the heart of all of this.
