Children, Young People and Families

Improving Support for Children, Young People and Families

At IPC, we are dedicated to enhancing the lives of children, young people and families through our extensive research, evaluation and consultancy offers. We regularly work in partnership with health, the voluntary and community sector, local government and UK or devolved government to provide evidence-based learning and development for policy makers, commissioners and providers to address:

  • Emotional health and wellbeing / mental health
  • Domestic abuse, substance misuse
  • Safeguarding
  • Parenting and whole family including multi-disciplinary support
  • The needs of care experienced children living in foster or kinship care, residential care or who are adopted
  • Child exploitation
  • Aspects of child and family health and health equity
  • The needs of young carers

Our recommendations, grounded in robust data, help shape effective and innovative policies and practice improvements.

We also offer high quality commissioning and leadership training programmes to equip commissioners and providers of child, young person and family services with essential skills and knowledge.

This ensures services provide the right help at the right time, maximising their impact to support better outcomes for children and families across the UK.

In 2023 we were commissioned by Foundations to carry out research to increase understanding of how evidence is used in commissioning, service design and the development of practice models to support children and families. Foundations are responsible for developing Practice Guides to support the implementation of the former Government’s National Children's Social Care Framework. The findings from this research project have helped to ensure that the Guides are relevant and useful for the sector .
