A ground-breaking research project called Children Growing Up In Liverpool, aims at improving health outcomes for families in the Liverpool City Region.

It's being undertaken by the University of Liverpool, Liverpool Women's hospital, the Combined Authority and City Council among others.

Following the lives of new-born babies and their families from early pregnancy through childhood and beyond, it's said this may have the potential to have a significant impact on our understanding of complex health issues..
