Since December 2023 the University of Lincoln have been working on a multi-phase evaluation project with Lincolnshire’s Children and Young People’s Complex Needs Service (CYPCNS), an integrated care systems established to promote collaboration between health, social care, criminal justice services, and wider voluntary service partner organisations in the support of the wellbeing of children and young people with complex needs. The University of Lincoln are now excited to offer a fully funded SENSS Collaborative Studentship PhD as part of this ongoing collaborative work to develop understanding of the experiences of young people with complex needs regarding the support they receive, their journey to recovery and the impact of trauma and its relationship with neurodevelopmental processes and links to behaviour. The research is an interdisciplinary project led by a supervisory team in the School of Social & Political Sciences, the School of Psychology, Sport Science and Wellbeing, and the School of Medicine, with an additional supervisor within the collaborative partner service. The methods will reflect this interdisciplinarity, including both quantitative data analysis, and qualitative co-production research with children and young people, and the studentship includes a 3 month placement with the CYPCNS. 🗓️ Applications are now open. The deadline to apply is 12:00 GMT on 24 February 2025.
