The International Journal of
Nurture in Education

The International Journal of Nurture in Education (IJNE) presents the latest research on how nurture principles and practice improve pupils’ socio-emotional functioning and academic achievement.

Research demonstrating the effectiveness of nurture practice tends to be spread over publications in different academic fields. The IJNE is therefore designed as a central hub for all relevant nurture research and findings.

The journal is aimed at researchers in the field, practising psychologists, special needs practitioners, school leaders, nurture practitioners, consultants, local authority officers, and any other professionals who are concerned with improving the social, emotional, mental health and wellbeing of children and young people.

The IJNE is now registered with the Directory of Open Access Journals

ISSN details: Print: 2059-0458, Online: 2059-0466.
