New Child Development App for Northern Irish workforce
By News Northern Ireland, , ,

A free mobile app helping users understand the development and behaviour of 13-18 year olds has been launched by the Northern Ireland Social Care Council (NISCC). 

The app is the third Child Development app developed by NISCC in partnership with Ulster University and Queen’s University Belfast and other key partners from the education and employment sectors.

Developed for social workers, teaching professionals and youth and community workers, the app is also useful for parents and anyone working with the 13-18 years age group. It provides brief summaries of important information such as developmental milestones and includes hyperlinks to relevant videos, theories, policies and references to help the user build on their knowledge and understanding.

The two other Child Development apps in the series, launched in 2014, focus on children aged from birth to 6 years and 7 to 12 years.

The NISCC Child Development app 13-18 Years can be downloaded free of charge from the Google Play Store (for Android devices) and the Apple App/iTunes Store (for IOS/iPhone devices).
