Mobilising Early Years Research for a Brighter Future Insights from the BSBIH: Language and communication
Tue 12 Nov 2024 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM GMT
Online, Zoom
Description
The Better Start Bradford Innovation Hub have been working with Better Start Bradford to evaluate the projects and early life interventions delivered as part of their programme. Together, we are hosting a series of webinars where we will share findings, alongside research from Born in Bradford's Better Start (BiBBS) - the world's first intervention birth cohort.

Language development shows a steep social gradient, with instances of childhood language difficulties over twice as likely in children experiencing deprivation. Findings from the Born in Bradford's Better Start cohort study have revealed that one in four children in the cohort were classified as ‘late talkers,’ suggesting an increased risk of poor educational attainment in the future. But there is hope, as improving children’s early learning environments can help to mitigate some of this risk. Over the past decade, the Better Start Bradford Innovation Hub has been evaluating interventions aimed at improving children’s learning environments, including Talking Together and Better Start Imagine. Join us to hear about how these services have been received by the community, what impact they have made, and what these findings mean for the future.
Professor Claudine Bowyer-Crane, Professor of Education at the University of Sheffield, will highlight the overarching messages of our research, and discuss what is needed to support children’s early language development both in Bradford and beyond. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to ask your questions in an interactive Q&A session at the end. Don’t miss this chance to engage with cutting-edge research and learn how we can build a brighter future for the wellbeing of children and families!
We look forward to seeing you there.
Zoom meeting details will be shared the week before the event.
