The Missing Link: Restoring the Bond between Schools and Families
Building Self-Belief CIO are looking forward to working with The Centre for Social Justice in relation to their most recent research 'The Missing Link: Restoring the Bond between Schools and Families.'
"The Centre for Social Justice first revealed the crisis in school absence in 2021 and has since led the charge in understanding and offering solutions to getting children back to school."
Memory and Social Deprivation
Our current research is in partnership with Newcastle University and our local schools. We have plans in place to investigate the extent of the connection between memory and social deprivation. Our aim is to study the effect on early adversity on brain function, using tests of memory and imagination. We believe that as a result of this research we can identify key areas where intervention will help children and young people.
Consett Area Neighbourhood Forum
As part of our association with Consett Area Neighbourhood Forum, we have supported them with their youth consultation to ensure the young people in the area have a voice. The 2024 consultation was led by a group of year 12 students from Consett Academy. An outcome of our consultation is the adaptation of the Vision to focus on young people. We are also in the process of creating a new Youth Manifesto that showcases the finding, and provides some next steps for the young people in the area.
