Applied Research and Evaluation

Our team of researchers have a track record of innovative, mixed-method evaluations, providing the evidence and insight you need to make improvements and find solutions

Are your services and policies working?

You need to know what difference your services or policies are making to people's lives and how they could be improved.

With our support, you can find out whether the right resources are delivering the right outcomes to the right people. This will help you to improve services and make better informed commissioning decisions.

We provide clear and accessible reports and work with you to embed learning within your organisation or sector, enabling you to continue to monitor and review what you do.

We specialise in, and have developed a reputation for, ethical innovation in methods for capturing the voice of people who need care and support.
