Nuffield Programme Privacy Notice

This project will support local and national transformation in how data and voice information about and from children and families is gathered, interpreted and used in the design and practice of child and family social policy, especially for those most in need.

Research participants will be invited to a range of activities including workshops, discussions, focus groups, one-to-one conversations or interviews, and to complete pro formas (for paper and digitally-based data mapping) and to share photographs of non-personal resources.
