The Healthy Child Programme introduced the Early Language Identification Measure and Intervention (ELIM-I) to address these challenges.

This study will evaluate the implementation, impact and costs of the use of ELIM-I in Health Visiting Teams across England. The study outcomes will inform policy, service delivery and commissioning decisions regarding the adoption of ELIM-I.

Its policy of developing both depth and breadth of research expertise remains central to successfully maintaining and enhancing our position as an internationally recognised centre of outstanding research. The 2021 Research Excellence Framework evaluation placed the department as the leader for education research in the United Kingdom. We have a world class reputation for research, as illustrated by our publication and funding portfolio, indicators of international and national academic leadership, research prizes, and commitment to mobilising research for the improvement of policy and practice and the benefit of children, parents, and communities. The department has a highly fertile research environment, with around 100 books published since 2010 and over 150 research seminars convened each academic year. All full-time members of academic staff are active researchers. We have approximately 70 full-time and part-time teaching and research staff, 30 full-time and part-time administrative and professional staff, and around 525 students, of whom 182 were studying part-time. Research in the Department is organised around three broad Themes: (i) Language, Cognition and Development; (ii) Policy, Economy and Society; (iii) Knowledge, Learning and Pedagogy. Each Theme consists of a cluster of Research Groups and affiliated Centres. All academic and research staff are attached to one or more research groups and research students are active in the groups. The research groups provide a forum for discussion of research ideas and articles in progress, to obtain critical commentary on current projects, and to plan new studies with colleagues. The externally-funded research centres are formally established units, organised around a coherent research plan and include OUCEA (The Oxford University Centre for Educational Assessment), SKOPE (Research Centre on Skills, Knowledge and Organisational Performance), The Rees Centre for Research in Fostering and Education and EMI (English as a Medium of Instruction). Our doctoral students make an excellent contribution to the research environment; there is an intake of just over 20 students per year. Over the last 15 years, the Department of Education has grown in size and shape. We currently offer the following courses: ▪ MSc in Education with 5 different pathways: Comparative and International Education; Higher Education; Child Development; Digital and Social Change; Research Design and Methodology ▪ MSc in Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition (ALSLA) ▪ MSc in Learning and Teaching (MLT) ▪ MSc in Teacher Education ▪ MSc in Applied Linguistics for Language Teaching (ALLT) ▪ MSc in Educational Assessment RA1 JD 18 months NIHR .5FTE 4 ▪ MSc in Medical Education ▪ The Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) ▪ A comprehensive Doctoral (DPhil) programme attracting students from all over the world The PGCE is a one-year teacher training programme for over 190 graduates delivering secondary trained teachers in nine key subject areas (English, Geography, History, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Modern Foreign Languages and Religious Education). It is undertaken in close partnership with local secondary schools. The course has an international reputation for the quality of its work and in the most recent Ofsted inspection it was awarded the highest grade (Outstanding) in all categories for every subject and for management and quality assurance. At Masters Level there are two full-time courses: MSc Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition and MSc Education in total admitting around 80 students each year. There are five part-time courses: the MSc in Learning and Teaching (MLT) is a two-year course which offers a combination of face-to-face teaching and online support for serving teachers; it recruits approximately 80 students each year. The Masters in Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching (ALLT) is a two-year part-time distancelearning course for lecturers teaching English within higher education institutions internationally, and the Masters in Teacher Education (MTEd) is likewise a two-year part-time distance-learning course, aimed at those employed as academics, teachers, and teacher educators worldwide who are involved in teacher education. The MSc Medical Education began in 2021 and is a two-year course which offers a combination of face-to-face teaching and online support for those involved in medical education. The doctoral programme (DPhil) has over 100 registered DPhil students, including 12 part-time, researching in a diverse range of areas. Education is a recognised Pathway in the ESRC Social Sciences Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP). Overall the Department is now one of the three largest centres in the UK for full-time postgraduate study in the field of education. Further information about the Department and its staff, courses and research activities please visit: www.education.ox.ac.uk/ See in particular our Annual Reviews at http://www.education.ox.ac.uk/about-us/departmentreviews/ Social Sciences Division The University’s academic departments and faculties are organised into four large groups, known as Academic Divisions (Social Sciences, Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences (MPLS), Medical Sciences, and Humanities). The academic divisions are responsible for academic oversight of the teaching and research of their constituent departments and faculties, for strategic and operational planning, and for personnel and resource management. The Head of the Social Sciences Division is Professor Tim Power, who is a member of the University’s Council. The Social Sciences Division is a world-leading centre of research and education in the social sciences. The social sciences at Oxford are distinctive for both their depth and breadth, with activity spanning fourteen departments and faculties and one cross-divisional unit. (These are as follows: Law, the Saïd Business School, Economics, Politics and International Relations, the Blavatnik School of Government, the School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography, International Development, Sociology, Social Policy and Intervention, the Oxford Internet Institute, Archaeology, the School of Interdisciplinary Area Studies, Education, the School of Geography and the Environment and the Oxford Martin School.) Interdisciplinary links within RA1 JD 18 months NIHR .5FTE 5 and beyond the university are strong, extending to the humanities, natural sciences, and medical sciences. Academic and research staff and research students are engaged in world-leading research that challenges current ideas and theories and is tackling some of the major challenges facing humanity, such as sustainable resource management, migration, governance, poverty and development, and justice. REF 2021 confirmed Oxford as the UK powerhouse for research, where Oxford accounted for more world-leading (4*) research than any other institution, and more than two-thirds of the research’s impact was also recognised as world leading, across the social sciences units of assessment to which it made submissions. The division has an extensive portfolio of external funders and collaborators, with competitively-awarded external research income exceeding £40million per year. Researchers in the division engage actively beyond academia and their research has influence in many spheres from innovation in public policymaking to practitioner communities such as law, business, education, social welfare and NGOs. The division also delivers an exceptional range of high-quality educational programmes (undergraduate, postgraduate taught and postgraduate research), all of which are underpinned by the innovative research being undertaken by our academics. Programmes range from those at the interface of the natural sciences, through to professionally-oriented provision in areas such as business, law and education. The division is home to several of Oxford’s most widely recognised teaching programmes, such as Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE); the BCL; the MPhils in International Relations, in Economics, and in Development Studies; the MBA and EMBA; and the internationally regarded PGCE.
