Welcome to Child of our Time

Posted on October 28, 2014 by Christine Garrington

Welcome to Child of our Time, a blog about the health and happiness of children living in the UK.

We are a team of researchers tracking children’s lives using a wide range of data sets, sources and information, asking important questions based on existing and emerging evidence.

This blog is aimed at sharing our research with policy makers, parents and people who work with children. Its purpose is to make sure that what we find can be properly understood and taken into consideration when decisions that affect our children’s futures are being made.

You may remember the BBC programme Child of our Time that was following 25 children born oat the turn of the millennium, well our research tracks the lives of thousands of children, helping us provide important and influential evidence on their their health and their happiness over time.

In the coming weeks and months, we’ll be posting easy to understand summaries of recent and new research, podcasting about our work, and keeping you up to date with key developments in this area.

Thanks for checking out our blog!
