Rees Centre

We produce research and evidence that enables practitioners, policymakers and the research community to understand and improve children’s social care and education. Our vision is that children and young people supported by children’s social care services have stronger and more stable relationships, better educational outcomes, and better lives.

We conduct research to understand the nature and causes of outcomes and to test ideas about how things might improve, to inform policy and practice.
