Children, Young People & Families

The Children, Young People and Families (CYPF) working group is led by Harrie Churchill, Becky Driscoll and Julie Walsh and sits within the University of Sheffield’s Centre for International Research, Care, Labour and Equalities (CIRCLE). The CYPF group aims to create a supportive and inclusive forum for researchers and stakeholders who have shared interests in care, wellbeing, labour, rights and equalities, and how these relate to children and families’ experiences, conditions and outcomes. The CYPF group also aims to build on member’s research strengths and expertise working collaboratively to:  

• Enable the sharing of ideas and generation of new research ideas and partnerships
• Facilitate wider policy, practice and public engagement activities to promote knowledge exchange and impact across academia, policy and practice 
• Provide a forum of collaboration and support enabling researchers and stakeholders to deliberate and advance research plans, research in progress and new collaborative projects
