SPROCKET Hub

SPROCKET is a research and innovation hub improving support for children with complex health needs. SPROCKET is funded by NIHR and EPSRC, led by University College London, and co‑created with families, young people, charities and system partners. 
 
We focus on two key transitions that families have confirmed are important: 
(a) starting or moving school for children with special educational needs, and 
(b) returning home from hospital with ongoing care needs.  
 
Working with the NHS and five North Central London councils, we combine lived experience, data insights, systems mapping, and creative co‑design to develop and test practical, equitable solutions that help services work together more effectively. 

SPROCKET aims to build a fairer, more responsive system shaped with -and for- children with complex needs and those who care for them.
