Welcome to our news and blogs section. Here you’ll find the latest developments and insights from across our longitudinal studies.

On 1 January 2006 a new two-year project started at CLS which will produce a set of teaching datasets and associated resources based on our three cohort studies (NCDS, BCS and MCS).
CLS is celebrating its first anniversary as a Resource Centre of the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). In October 2004, the ESRC’s decision to fund CLS gave the data collection of the 1958, 1970 and Millennium cohort studies an assured future and recognised their value to the research, educational and policy communities in the UK and abroad.
A questionnaire sent out to Head Teachers in 1986, when BCS70 cohort members were aged 16, has recently been keyed, cleaned, and linked to 4,592 individual cohort members. Now fully documented, the dataset was deposited by CLS at the UK Data Archive, and is now available for download (study number 5225).
