Children, Families and Relationships

The University of Edinburgh has a long tradition of conducting research about and with children and young people, dating back at least 30 years to the ground-breaking studies of John Triseliotis and others. More recently, staff have come together to form a Child Welfare Research Group, reflecting the strength of interest in this area. Research highlights include:

  • Janice McGhee and Lorraine Waterhouse on children's hearings
  • Gary Clapton on birth fathers (men who have given up a child for adoption)
  • Viv Cree on children affected by parental HIV and on young carers
  • Mark Smith on children in residential settings
  • Bill Whyte on youth justice
  • Janice McGhee and Lorraine Waterhouse on children's hearings
