Rees Centre
The Rees Centre aims to improve the education, wellbeing and life outcomes of those who are, or have been supported by children’s social care services, with a focus on children in need, adoptive and special guardianship families and care experienced adults. We produce research and evidence which enables us to understand and improve the role of children’s social care in the education and lives of children and families. We conduct research to understand the nature and causes of outcomes, test ideas about how things might improve and to inform policy and practice.
