Psychology graduate on board

David Jodrell, a psychology graduate whose dissertation on disability policy in education won him a British Psychological Society award in 2007 has joined the Unit this month as a research assistant.

One of David's projects will be to help adapt an established will-being measure, Kidscreen, for use by children with special educational needs. It will be trialled as part of our partnership in the Birmingham City Council Brighter Futures initiative.

David became interested in child development during his studies at the University of Wales Institute, Cardiff. His primary role will be to assist Unit director Michael Little, but he also hopes to broaden his knowledge of evidence-based policy and practice.
