Advisory Board
The Advisory Board consists of representatives from each of our stakeholder groups including the research community, public and policy bodies, early years education and family-oriented charitable sector organisations. Together, they advise LuCiD on the current research and policy landscape; make suggestions and review new research areas for the Centre; and advise on the relevance of our outreach plans.
