The Wellbeing of Children (WELLCHI)
(2004-2007)
WELLCHI aims to improve our knowledge of the impact of changing family forms, the working conditions of parents and social policy and legislative measures on the well-being of children and their families. Its goal is to bring into focus, coordinate, channel and publicise the results of research that has already been carried out through the organisation of international workshops and conferences.
Carol Smart coordinated the first project workshop 'New approaches and perspectives on childhood' at University of Leeds on 12-13 November 2004. View reports and papers from the workshop [opens in new window].
