Be a hero for children’s health today

Our school is supporting D-CYPHR, an exciting national health research programme for ages 0-15.

You can join in here: https://bioresource.nihr.ac.uk/dcyphr/

The DNA, children and young people's health resource (D-CYPHR) is a nationwide movement to better understand our health. Everything from mental health to combatting diabetes. Over 5,000 children and young people have joined so far.

Please read the attached pdf for more information and how your family can join from home.

Young Ambassador programme

D-CYPHR also runs a national Young Ambassador group for children who have joined. This will be of benefit to young people interested in youth leadership, with participation letters for young health champions. Places for ambassadors are limited: if you would like to be an ambassador as well, please apply quickly for their 2024/25 year after joining.

All families can help

Any family can join D-CYPHR online to help children's health research. Please consider taking part.

The programme will be sharing updates with schools on local participation, ages joining-in, and new health studies families have made possible.
