People working with children and youth

The Centre has undertaken extensive work on young people's confidence and well-being. In this section of the site we've listed lots of different information, projects and resources. This section is specifically geared to professionals.

We also have a section aimed specifically at parents which has some additional material and condensed versions of what is available below.

Centre Associate, Alan Sinclair, writes a blog, mainly on the early years, on this website about the importance of parenting and supporting children's development. You can also access his paper on early years in the attachment/early engagement section below.
