During the Summer of 2024, researchers at Northumbria University worked with staff and children at a large primary school to undertake case study research on the implementation and impact of Operation Encompass, a police and education setting information sharing partnership enabling staff in those settings to offer immediate and ongoing support to children experiencing domestic abuse.
Northumbria University has launched a schedule of free activities for teenagers to enjoy this summer as part of the Department for Education’s national Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Plus programme.
A group of nine Northumbria University students travelled to the U.S. Embassy in London to present their climate and environment policy recommendations after months of being mentored by a number of industry experts from the public, private and third sectors.
A report prepared by academics at Northumbria University and supported by the North East Local Enterprise Partnership (North East LEP) calls for a nationwide approach to providing careers education in primary schools.
Together with the Healthy Living Lab at Northumbria University, Gateshead Council identified a poor uptake of teenagers participating in the existing Holiday Activities and Food programme, with attendance figures show that 82% of attendees are 11 years and under and only 18% of attendees being over 12 years.
Leading not-for-profit groups - including experts from Northumbria University - come together to offer invaluable practical expertise to help local authorities scale-up the Government’s £220 million Holiday Activities and Food programme.
Northumbria University is a research-intensive university that unlocks potential for all, changing lives regionally, nationally and internationally.
