About the course > Background

How did the course get started?
Listening to Children is based on a highly-successful module within the MSc in Childhood Studies at the University of Edinburgh. In 2004, the course team gained funding from the ESRC Research Methods programme (Award RES 333 25 0010) to develop the course further as a continuing professional development option.

What different versions of the course are available?
Individuals can enrol for the ten-week Listening to Children course based at the University of Edinburgh and online - see the Book a place section for details of the next available course.

Bespoke versions of the course are also available in a variety of formats. Please contact us if you would like to discuss the possibility of running Listening to Children within your organisation.
