The Northern Ireland Social Care Council has been working in partnership with Skills for Care and Development, the University of Ulster and Queens University Belfast to develop this innovative mobile application for Child Development.

The content of the app is underpinned by the expertise of the two universities, through the authors, Dr Anne Campbell (QUB and Professor Mary McColgan (UUM) in Northern Ireland and has benefited from input from the social work, early years and education professionals who joined the Child Development App Steering Group convened by the NISCC.

The app presents a cost effective method of delivering educational information and guidance and for this reason has been warmly welcomed by employers across all sectors involved in service provision for children, young people and looked after children in the 7-12 years age grouping.
