CONNECT with HAPPEN: Co-develOping the HAPPEN primary school Network to maximisE impaCT

良好的童年健康和幸福对于最大限度地实现成就、就业前景以及成人的健康和福祉至关重要。学校是以卫生项目为目标的关键场所。然而，校长们强调了一些障碍，比如缺乏合作。为了应对这些挑战，并支持学校更加注重健康和福祉，建立了一个小学网络“发生”。8-11岁的儿童完成一项在线健康行为调查。结果将作为针对学校课程量身定做的报告与学校分享。在我攻读博士学位期间，我从一个每年有1,000名儿童参与的地方项目发展成一个全国性的平台，惠及威尔士超过12,000名儿童。这项奖学金将扩展我的博士研究及其影响潜力，同时通过两个主要目标有利于我作为一名专注于影响的研究人员的职业发展。目标1：出版以最大化影响(两种出版物)具有数据链接能力；通过斯旺西大学的SAIL(安全匿名信息链接)数据库将来自不同记录来源的同一人的匿名信息组合在一起的过程。第一份出版物将研究健康和教育之间的关系，以确定与10-11岁教育程度相关的因素，使用我在博士期间开发的两个数据集。根据我的论文，第一个是与日常记录(例如GP记录)和KS2教育程度相联系的发生调查健康行为。我将扩展这一博士数据，将威尔士地方当局开办的学校的所有儿童与现有的日常记录在人口层面上联系起来。结合人口层面(SAIL)和深度数据链接(OPEN)可以更好地了解健康和教育之间的联系。HAPPEN是英国唯一的小学网络，也是全球仅有的几个学校网络平台之一。第二份出版物将提供一个案例研究，说明其发展、扩张和成功网络发展的预测因素。目标2：建立一个协作网络，并向新的受众传播研究成果i通过为小学教职员工和教育利益攸关方(例如区域教育团体)举行的年度会议，将知识交流作为综合知识交流的一个重要组成部分。为了反映Event的扩展并将调查结果传达给新的受众，我将为小学和主要利益攸关方举办一个在线研讨会。我将介绍最近的研究，如教育程度的决定因素，以及关于学校关闭的影响的博士后研究。最后，我将在实践(例如小学)和政策层面(例如国家教育政策)建立一个由教育领域的主要利益攸关方组成的指导小组。该组织将每年召开两次在线会议，提供战略建议，为网络的共同发展和可持续性提供信息。我将通过邀请合作伙伴(例如威尔士儿童、区域教育团体)以及区域和国家一级的新伙伴关系(例如国家教育领导学院Cymru)来加强和建立合作。共同发展发生在后新冠肺炎教育的关键时刻，确保该网络能够支持学校在儿童的教育和福祉恢复方面，并与确定的优先事项保持一致。Impact将由我在博士期间发起的与一系列受众接触的活动的发展来支持。这些措施包括在对话中撰写文章、制作摘要报告/信息图表、社交媒体活动、会议演示以及通过伙伴关系(如威尔士儿童)进行分享。

Good childhood health and wellbeing is essential in maximising achievement, employment prospects and adult health and wellbeing. Schools are a key setting to target health programmes. However, headteachers have highlighted barriers such as a lack of collaboration. HAPPEN, a primary school network, was established to address these challenges and support schools to increase focus on health and wellbeing. Children aged 8-11 complete an online health behaviour survey. Results are shared with schools as a school-specific report tailored to the curriculum. During my PhD, I developed and expanded HAPPEN from a local project engaging with 1,000 children annually to a national platform reaching over 12,000 children in Wales. This fellowship will extend my doctoral research and its potential for impact, while benefiting my career development as an impact-focused researcher, through two primary aims.Aim 1: Publishing to maximise impact (two publications)HAPPEN has data-linkage capability; the process of combining anonymised information on the same person from separate record sources, through the SAIL (Secure Anonymised Information Linkage) Databank at Swansea University. The first publication will examine the relationship between health and education to identify factors associated with educational attainment at age 10-11, using two datasets developed during my PhD. The first, from my thesis, is HAPPEN survey health behaviour linked to routine records (e.g. GP records) and KS2 educational attainment. I will extend this PhD data with population-level linkage of all children from local authority maintained schools in Wales with existing routine records. Combining population-level (SAIL) and in-depth data linkage (HAPPEN) can offer a greater understanding of the link between health and education.HAPPEN is the only primary school network in the UK, and one of only a few school network platforms globally. The second publication will offer a case study example of its development, expansion and predictors of successful network development. Publishing the HAPPEN development model aims to share learning for international collaborations and upscaling in other countries.Aim 2: Build a collaborative network and communicate research findings to new audiencesI integrated knowledge exchange as a key component of HAPPEN through annual conferences for primary school staff and education stakeholders (e.g. regional education groups). To reflect HAPPEN's expansion and communicate findings to new audiences, I will deliver an online workshop for primary schools and key stakeholders. I will present recent research such as determinants of educational attainment, and post-doctoral research about the impact of school closures. I will include breakout rooms with facilitated discussions to support application of findings to practice and identify research priorities.Finally, I will develop a steering group of key stakeholders in education at a practice (e.g. primary schools) and policy level (e.g. national education policy). The group will meet online twice a year to offer strategic advice informing network co-development and sustainability. I will strengthen and build collaborations by inviting partners (e.g. Children in Wales, regional education groups) and new partnerships at regional and national level (e.g. National Academy of Educational Leadership Cymru).ImpactThis fellowship has significant potential for impact at practice and policy level. Co-developing HAPPEN at a critical time for post-COVID-19 education ensures the network can support schools in the education and wellbeing recovery of children and align to identified priorities. Impact will be supported by development of activities initiated during my PhD to engage with a range of audiences. These include writing articles in The Conversation, producing summary reports/ infographics, social media campaigns, conference presentations, and sharing through partnerships (e.g. Children in Wales).
