Eleanor Ireland, Education Programme Head and Richard Batcheler, independent researcher and writer; share priorities for future early years research ahead of our funding deadlines for 2023.
Our Changing face of early childhoodOpens in a new window series, led by Carey Oppenheim, shone a light on the striking differences in caring for young children now compared to a generation ago. It also highlighted all that we don’t yet know about early childhood and how to meet the evolving needs of young children and their families.
So, in November 2022 we brought together researchers, practitioners, policymakers and funders from across the UK to discuss what the priorities for future early years research should be.
Here, we share these priorities ahead of the March and September deadlines for our Research, Development and Analysis FundOpens in a new window. These priorities build on the research interests set out in our Guide for ApplicantsOpens in a new window that span our broad domains of Education, Welfare and Justice.
