The Childlink online information service is now available via the Electronic Resources link on Resources Online – click on a relevant subject area to access the link.
Childlink is the largest online information service on children, young people and families in the UK and Ireland, providing news, information, reports, legislation, statistics, research, and practice issues.
The site is updated daily and there is an archive of over 2 million pages of information on education, health, welfare, youth, justice and employment.
The site can be browsed and there is also a search engine for precise searching. Two sections which look particularly useful are “Topics” which brings together all relevant information on major issues and “Make a request” where users can make individual requests for detailed information on any subject covered by the database.
