My research has focussed on mental health and I have a particular interest in the development of play and the prevention of emotional and behavioural problems in the early years of life. I have led RCT's, epidmiological studies and detailed observational studies of parent and child mental health. I direct the PEDAL (Play in Education Development and Learning) Research Centre and details of the current work of the PEDAL team at Cambridge, and recent publications, can be found at the PEDAL Hub website (www.pedalhub.net).
