Peep research studies

Peep programmes have been evaluated in a number of independent research studies by the Universities of Oxford, Queen’s Belfast and Warwick. You can find links to the studies below.

A Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) – the Learning Together Study – of the Learning Together Programme was carried out by Queen’s University Belfast, funded by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF). Four formal research studies on the Peep Learning Together programme have been carried out by the University of Oxford: the Birth to School Study, Enabling Parents Study, Foundation Peep Study and Room to Play Study.

Queen’s University Belfast also carried out an RCT of the Families Connect programme, when the programme was owned by Save the Children UK. The University of Warwick carried out the Early Explorers in child health clinics and the pilot Reflective Parenting – Peep Antenatal Programme study.
