About Policy Briefs

Policy Briefs translate the childhood research evidence to inform policy, practice and service delivery. The series is a succinct, easy to read publication aimed to stimulate informed debate about issues that affect children's health and wellbeing.

The Policy Brief series presents the research under four headings and addresses:

Why is the issue important?
What does the research tell us?
What are the implications of the research?
Considerations for policy and programs

Each Policy Brief explores a specific theme relevant to early childhood and families. Refer to archives for previous editions.

The first Policy Brief "Early childhood and the lifecourse" was launched on 28 February 2006.
