The Education and Child Health Insights from Linked Data (ECHILD) database is a comprehensive resource that integrates longitudinal administrative data from health, education, and social care sectors for children and young people in England. The primary aim of ECHILD is to facilitate large-scale research that examines the interactions and relationships between these domains throughout childhood and adolescence. By linking these datasets, researchers can gain insights into how various factors in education, health, and social care impact child development and outcomes over time. This database supports studies that can inform policy and practice by identifying key determinants of child health and educational success, as well as potential areas for intervention to improve outcomes for children and young people.
