Dr Liam Berriman: Voices of children remain amongst the most marginalised in policy and decision making in the UK.

[MUSIC: Whoosh sound effect into old detuned piano playing nostalgic chords]

Dr Liam Berriman: How children and young people experience society in this data driven and digital era is a key element of our work. We need to explore their perspective on the world and to do that in a very creative and innovative way.

Dr Liam Berriman: My research involves gathering the voices of children and young people, as well as their families and carers and those who work with them, to improve how they’re treated, how they can access specialist services and how policies can be developed to best meet their needs.

Since so much of their lives involves data being gathered about them, we’re also concerned with how this information is used, particularly for the purpose of safeguarding. At our centre we can make the world a better place in terms of wanting meaningful change in their lives.

[MUSIC: A final positive chord plays on a keyboard]
