University of Bristol

The University of Bristol is a research-intensive UK university. It is currently newsworthy due to its involvement in several recent studies. Firstly, the National Child Mortality Database (NCMD), based at the University of Bristol, published a study analyzing child deaths in England between 2019 and 2023, revealing that a significant percentage of children who died had closely related parents. Secondly, a study based on interviews with 750 parents, suggested that by 10 months about a quarter of children were practising some rudimentary form of deceit. While the university itself isn't the direct subject of the third article, the NCMD's research highlights its role in important national health and social studies, demonstrating its ongoing relevance in understanding and addressing critical societal issues.
