Published Research – evidence based practice

CEIT collaborates with CEBEI at Bangor University to undertake research that informs evidence based practice. Contributions to the knowledge base on what works in early intervention for families – parents, children and schools, enables health, social care and educational professionals to make informed choices about what interventions are effective.

Research has been undertaken with the following programmes: Parenting for Lifelong Health – Young Children (PLH-YC); the Book Sharing programme; The KiVa school anti-bullying programme; The COPING online parenting programme; Enhancing Parenting Skills (EPaS) programme and the Incredible Years programmes (c) (IY).

Our shared published research is listed below.
