For detailed information about the study and to find out more about what is involved:
Caregivers including foster carers, relative or kinship carers, guardians, adoptive parents or residential care workers of children and young people aged 9 months to 17 years will be invited to complete a face-to-face interview at 18-24-month intervals during the study.
If you agree to take part in the study, you will receive a brochure and consent form before each interview. If you have children or young people older than 7 years taking part in the study, you will be given information about the questions asked during their interview. See the questions asked of 7–11 year olds and 12–17 year olds below.
The longitudinal study completed the 6th round of interviews in August 2024.
As part of this study, we also collected the teacher's view of how your child was progressing at school during the 2nd to 4th round of interviews if the caregiver gave written consent for the teacher survey.
