We are a multidisciplinary Team of Researchers, Practitioners and Service Leads including Speech and Language Therapists, Health Visitors, Early Childhood Educators, Health Economists, Statisticians and Implementation scientists.

The universities collaborating on the project are Newcastle University, University of Oxford and Northumbria University. The institute of Health Visiting (iHV) and Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT) are also partners.

Many of the team members are embedded within the local sites where we are conducting the PLACES study.
