This event will feature an overview of the results from our Leverhulme Trust-funded qualitative research in this area. We also hope to capture the spirit of the discussions on the day, to provide us with further data regarding your reflections, hopes and concerns about the use of neuroscience in social policy, and its relevance to family life.
