CIRCY is a pan-university Centre of Excellence, with a membership that spans social sciences, arts, humanities, psychology, and professional fields including social work, law, education and health.
CIRCY’s research is innovative, interdisciplinary and international in scope, and aims to reflect and address real world concerns whilst developing new academic understandings. Our research and scholarship are united by a critical engagement with children and young people’s lives in time and place, and a focus on the rights, voice and welfare of the child or young person at the centre of inquiry.
Over the 2024-2025 academic year, CIRCY has continued to grow, increasing our membership across disciplines, establishing new projects, and building academic and public engagement locally, nationally and internationally. The support of research bidding and academic writing has continued apace, and we have continued to be successful in grant capture, publications, knowledge exchange and the delivery of projects, some of which we spotlight in this report.
