Children, young people, parent and public involvement
Public involvement is integrated across our research programme, providing input into all stages of projects, from early question development through to project design and dissemination of findings.
Involving parents, carers, children and young people in our work
We involve multiple groups and individuals and reach out to involve children, young people and parents across England, including seldom-heard voices. Our parent and carer and youth panels meet every two months and bring their diverse experiences and perspectives to reflect on and enrich the quality of our research.
