The Children and Families node of excellence within Plymouth Institution of Education focuses on the lives of children and families and the professionals who work with them.
The node comprises an interdisciplinary group of researchers and professionals with a breadth of knowledge and expertise on the lives and experiences of children and families; working with children and families; and practices of social inclusion and justice in the field of children and families.
Members of the node specialise in considering theoretical perspectives on, and their practical consequences for, the lives of children and families and those who work with them locally, nationally and internationally. The research activity of the group involves working in partnership with children, families, professionals and academics to question and enrich theories, policies and practices relevant to the lives of children and families.
