This pioneering Centre, based at the University of Northampton, has built up a national and international reputation for its multidisciplinary research and consultancy work.

Established in 1997, the Centre for Children & Youth has recently added its support and expertise to Children Webmag, funding the role of the e-journal’s part-time editor.

The Centre is fully resourced to undertake primary data collection using quantitative research methods (e.g. large questionnaire surveys, social surveys, one-to-one interviews) and qualitative research methods (such as focus groups, in-depth discussion groups, role play).

Recent research and consultancy has included work into such diverse areas as:

• Children’s environments
• Children’s participation
• Social exclusion
• Children and curfew
• Political Inclusion
• Children and the street
• Children’s play
• Childhood in biography and memory

Staff at the Centre for Children & Youth, headed by Professor Hugh Matthews, have extensive experience of working with non-governmental organisations (e.g. The Children’s Society and Save the Children UK), as well as agencies from the statutory sector (e.g. local authorities), private and voluntary sectors.

Results from the Centre’s research with children have been presented at the World Summit on Children and Childhood (Norway) and at many other respected forums worldwide.

Current research projects under way at the Centre include:

• Young People’s Attitudes to Health
• Audit of Play Needs & Provision in Redbridge

Recent Projects completed at the Centre include:

• Young People’s Attitudes Towards Racism
• Transition of Young People from YOT to Probation
• Graduate Retention in Northamptonshire
• Evaluation of the Ordnance Survey ‘Free Maps for 11 Year Olds’ Scheme

Staff at the Centre for Children & Youth are always happy to discuss potential projects or provide more information on their publications and reports.

HOW TO USE THE CHILDREN WEB SITE

We have designed this site to load onto your computer as quickly as possible - there is nothing worse than waiting for minutes on end for pages to load.

Every page has the same navigation tools - one takes you to the top of the page, one takes you to the previous page you viewed and one takes you to the front page of the Webmag.

To see any page with the minimum number of scroll bars, you need to have your display set to at least 800 x 600. 1024 x 768 is preferable.

To reset your display using Windows 95, 98 or XP, click on a blank portion of the desktop with your RIGHT mouse button then, using your left mouse button, click on the Properties bar, then the Settings tab. Move the Screen Area slider to the required setting then click on the Apply button.

If you are using 800 x 600 or greater and the display still does not look right, assuming you are using Microsoft Explorer 3 or greater, pressing the F11 key will toggle full page.

You can also help visibility by clicking on View, click on Text Size and click on Smallest.

It is also easier on the eye if your display is set to more than 256 colours. It should be at least 16 bit colour or preferably 24 or 36 bit. To change these settings, when in Windows 95, 98, 2000 or XP (but not while in a program), click on a blank area of the desktop with your RIGHT mouse button. Click on 'Properties' then 'Settings' and make the alteration there. Click on 'Apply' and your new colour settings will take effect.

If you wish to print any of the articles, simply click on the 'Print' icon at the top of the screen or click on File, then Print then OK.

Note: If you have sensitive files on your computer - perhaps case files - which you have deleted, are you aware that they can still be accessed by unauthorised people? Windows stores all deleted files in 'secret' areas of your computer including all internet sites you have visited. To completely delete sensitive information from computers, we use a programme called CyberScrub which permanently deletes all your deleted files and all the garbage files which build up after using the internet. It is an excellent little inexpensive programme and you can have a free trial of it from their web site - click here.
