Children, Young people and Families

Father carrying children

Research under this theme explores the development of children and adolescents into young adulthood in their full social and structural contexts.

A particular focus of our work in this area is improving social policies and social work interventions into the lives of families and young people. This multi-disciplinary research draws on a range of theoretical and methodological traditions with an overarching social justice ethos. Dr Lisa Bunting leads research under this theme which explores the development of children and adolescents into young adulthood in their full social and structural contexts.
