The Lifelong Health and Wellbeing Research theme had an excellent meeting with representatives from the Health Survey for England team at NatCen. This is Britain’s leading centre for independent social research, a not-for-profit organisation, dedicated to making an impact on society and advancing the role of social research in the UK.

They work around the full range of social policy areas such as

Health & Lifestyle

Children, Schools & Families

Crime & Justice

Employment, Skills & Education
