What we mean by dissemination

We have long experience of communicating evidence and ideas to people who are in a position to support the healthy development of children. But there is still a tendency on the part of governments, communities, schools and families alike to neglect effective methods or else to overlook them altogether.

Two contrasting projects figure prominently in our dissemination portfolio. Prevention Action is a daily newspaper published online. Stories from around the world cover breakthroughs in prevention science and its international application.

The Journal of Children’s Services is a peer-reviewed quarterly. It focuses on academic research on child development and children’s services, primarily but not exclusively from Europe, North America and Australasia.

We do other things to connect the research and practice communities. For example, we sponsor study tours of effective services in North America and Europe and we convene conferences and seminars of experts working internationally in the field of child development and the prevention of impairments to well-being.
