CYP Now - Putting research into practice

Understand which interventions really work through research, and make sure the findings are used by those who can implement policy and practice changes to make a difference in children and families' lives.

Anna Bacchoo, director of practice, What Works for Early Intervention and Children’s Social Care

The children's social care sector is complex and the outcomes we aim for are arguably harder to define and measure than in other sectors.

Our work has the greatest impact when we operate in partnership with people delivering and receiving services. That is why we have a range of stakeholder and expert advisory groups – including experts by experience – and a terrific group of young advisers who hold us to account, support, guide and challenge us.
