BORN in Bradford is gearing up to host the tenth International Network for Research on Inequalities in Child Health (INRICH) conference next week.
The event, being held at Kala Sangam on Forster Square on June 7 and 8, has attracted world-leading researchers from the UK and all over the world.
The researchers will discuss child health inequalities, develop solutions and share good practice. There will be presentations on how adverse childhood experiences can affect later life, lessons learned to reduce child health inequalities, and what Bradford is doing to help give children the best start in life. There will also be panels from Bradford policymakers to discuss how the research can put into practice.
The delegates will also have a chance to explore Bradford during their stay, with tours of Little Germany and Saltaire offered alongside a conference dinner held in City Hall.
Professor John Wright, the director of Bradford Institute of Health Research, said: “We are excited to be hosting INRICH in Bradford, and to have the chance to showcase all of the innovative research, such as Born in Bradford, that is establishing Bradford as an internationally recognised City of Research.”
