description |
CRFR was a partner in an EU
network of family research organisations, called the WELLCHI
network, a project on "The Wellbeing of Children: The
impact of changing family forms, working conditions of parents,
social policy and legislative measures". The project was
funded as a Coordination action under the 6th Framework Programme
of the European Commission from 2004 to 2007.
The partnership was led by the Institute of Childhood and Urban
World, Barcelona, Spain and included partners from Greece, The
Netherlands, Sweden, England, France, Bulgaria, Norway and Germany.
The project set up and operated a network to improve our knowledge
of the impact of changing family forms, the working conditions
of parents, and social policy and legislative measures on the
wellbeing of children and their families. Its goal was to bring
into focus, co-ordinate, and publicize the results of research
through a series of international workshops and conferences.
CRFR participated in meetings, took part in the committee responsible
for looking at ways in which statistics on child health and
wellbeing can be harmonized across the European Union, took
part in dissemination activities and convened a UK committee
of local agencies with an interest in the project.
