Children's Information Project

The Children’s Information Project Learning Network is funded by the Nuffield Strategic Fund and hosted by the University of Oxford in partnership with the University of Sussex, the London School of Economics, four Local Authority partners and Research in Practice.

This is an innovative and collaborative project to improve the way that information about and from children, young people and families is used in local and national Government. This information shapes and informs the support and services provided to meet and respond to the diverse needs of children, young people and families.

Find out more about the project through this Research in Practice article, 'Learning is a team sport - Children's Information Project'.

Multimedia resources as part of this project cover:

• How better use of Children’s information, data and voice can be used to improve the lives of children and families.

• How we can work alongside children, young people and families to develop approaches to information gathering and use.

• Lambeth Early Action Partnership (LEAP) share findings in a series of podcasts and a presentation through their 10-year journey, 'Developing an Outcomes Framework for Early Years Services: Using integrated data to inform design, reach, quality and performance', to transform the lives of babies and toddlers and their families.

• The emerging use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is changing the way social workers produce case recordings and make use of information.
