Improve your knowledge anytime, anywhere with the NISCC Child Development App for 13-18 years

The free app is the latest 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. The two other Child Development apps focus on children aged from birth to 6 years and 7 to 12 years.

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 NISCC Child Development apps can be downloaded free of charge from the Google Play Store (for Android devices) and the Apple App/iTunes Store (for IOS/iPhone devices).

More information, including a ‘How To’ guide and direct links to download the apps – is available in the Mobile Apps section of the NISCC website.

Other free apps that have been developed by NISCC include the Domiciliary Care Toolkit and the Health &Safety in a Childminding Setting.
