We are all Brain Builders
Every time we interact directly or indirectly, via systems and services, with a child, young person or their family we are helping to build brains. For this reason, understanding brain development is important in supporting children and young people to thrive.
We know that the best outcomes for children, families and society are achieved when individuals, communities, services and systems work together. Actions that are underpinned by a shared purpose, shared knowledge and shared language around brain development can foster a society that not only nurtures its future generations but also invests in its own long-term well-being and prosperity.
The Neuro-informed Policy and Practice Framework is a tool that supports systems and services to establish a shared language, shared knowledge and shared purpose.
The Neuro-informed Policy and Practice Framework was developed through an extensive scoping review of publications describing the application of neuro-informed policy and practice, internationally. A total of 116 academic and policy publications across health, education, law, social services, and built environments were synthesised to inform the development of a Neuro-informed Policy and Practice definition and to identify the knowledge bases that underpin its application.
