Through our research, we contribute to the development of effective policies and interventions that support the well-being, growth, and prospects of children and young people.
We have developed deep experience and knowledge in this area. For example, we supported the Independent Review of Children’s Social Care, providing estimates of how much is spent in the current system in England and the social cost of adverse outcomes for children in need.
Our team of social researchers has extensive practical experience engaging directly with young people on sensitive issues. A strict code of ethics and robust safeguarding protocols underpin all our research involving children and young people.
