Are you searching for research material on the lives of children and young people in Northern Ireland? Then the Children and Young People's Research Database is for you. This is a searchable bibliography of research published since 2000, including reports, journal articles and briefing papers. For many of the entries in the database, there is a short summary of the research. The database is funded by OFMDFM, and we are very pleased to be working with the Institute of Child Care Research on maintaining this database.
If you know of any research that you think should be on the database, please let us know
