Some specific targets include special educational needs (e.g., Foran, Hoerger, Philpott & Morgan, 2015;Ware & Thorpe, 2007), bilingualism (e.g., Thomas, Apolloni & Lewis, 2014;Rhys & Thomas, 2013), childhood disorders and conduct disorder (e.g., Hutchings, Martin-Forbes, Daley & Williams, 2013), bullying in schools (e.g., Clarkson et al, 2016), mindfulness in education (e.g., Gold et al, 2010), healthy eating and behaviours (e.g., Horne et al, 2009), academic failure (e.g., Hughes, Beverley, & Whitehead, 2017), literacy (e.g., Caravalos & Landel, 2010;, and numeracy (e.g., Hunter, Beverley, Parkinson & Hughes, 2016). Although this research has had impact on education practice and settings in North Wales, it was largely researcherled and not part of a strategic collaboration as we describe in Phase 2.…”
