Our aims
Our centre promotes lifelong health and wellbeing for infants, children and families.
We strive to reduce inequalities in early life. Our work aims to enable all individuals to enjoy lifelong physical and mental health.
We aim to create comprehensive public health practices and educational change. These policies should help maximise inclusion and learner-centred approaches.
The Centre for Children and Youth is committed to working with children, young people and those who support them to improve their lives.
We believe that using people-first language can create a more positive and supportive environment for children and youth.
