About the research

These sessions are part of the My First 1000 Days study run by the University of Leeds.

After registering, a Family Wellbeing Worker will get in touch to talk about the session, check eligibility, and discuss any needs you might have.

By signing up, you agree that a member of the University of Leeds research team may contact you to explain the research element of the project and answer any questions you may have. Taking part in the research is completely optional.

You’ll be invited to sign the consent form when you arrive.
Taking part in the research (sharing your feedback at the end) is completely voluntary.

Whether or not you choose to share feedback, you can:
✅ Attend the session

Your choice will not affect what you receive or how you’re treated in any way.
