We’re on the home stretch for #GUIConference25 with the final sessions covering child well-being, pastimes and a session on special surveys in GUI from our CSO colleagues. We’re hoping to share most of today’s presentations on our website in the coming days
Massive thank you to Rutland national school choir for their excellent lunchtime performance at #GUIConference25

We’re delighted to welcome Minister Norma Foley to her first #GUIConference25 as head of @DeptCDE. Her speech today reflects on both what we’ve learned so far from the study and what is yet to come – especially with the first wave of Cohort 24 just completed!
It’s been a busy morning at #GUIConference25 so far – we’ve had updates on the GUI study plus research papers on mental health, physical health, and transitions in the life-course.
