| Results and Impact | At the time of my talk - as part of a knowledge exchange activity with parliamentarians in Northern Ireland and held at the parliament (Northern Ireland Assembly) on October - Northern Ireland was considering formalising its parenting support policy which it did shortly after. The vent was televised from the parliament. Subsequently the Northern Irish government committed to better support for parenting support. It's impossible to imply causality here of course. |
