Preferably somewhere with cocktails

About Us

Hello, we are the At Home with Children Research Team.

Our research project allowed us to learn from the direct experiences of families who spent long hours together in their homes during the COVID-19 lockdown.

The scenarios and challenges that we present in this toolkit are based on the evidence that we have gathered directly from families with children in England and Scotland, via a large-scale survey and in-depth interviews.
