Researching the voice, agency and rights of children, adolescents and young people in education.

Who We Are

VARiE is an interdisciplinary research group that generates evidence to inform and improve decision-making in public policy and professional practice in Education. We do so by creating knowledge and developing rigorous, interdisciplinary and participatory projects that place the voice, agency and rights of children and young people at the core.
