We're a research, evaluation & consultancy company specialising in children's services, adult social care, criminal justice, NHS, domestic abuse, multiple disadvantage, mental health, public health, & employment.
Our 2025 Looked After Children stress test is out now, which explores national and local trends. Given the @nao.org.uk recent report on children’s residential care, which reveals national pressures but not local variation, this update is especially timely. www.cordisbright.co.uk/news/looked-...

Evidence suggests that neurodivergent people are overrepresented among people experiencing homelessness, yet services are not always designed with their needs in mind. Our new blog draws on existing literature and reflects on our own evaluation and research.

Parenting programmes can offer benefits to families and children - but only if we get implementation right and deliver them at scale. That’s what the new market analysis by @nestauk.bsky.social & our evaluation of the #Changemakers programme for @foundationsww.bsky.social are all about.

Government’s walk-back on proposed Pip and disability changes echoes some of the key lessons from our recent research for Mencap. We researched the additional costs faced by people with a learning disability and explored the difference these benefits make - see below...
Our latest blog with @mencap.org.uk reveals the hidden financial costs of living with a #learningdisability, from mobility aids to higher living expenses. We highlight the shortcomings of PIP and call for person-centred reform in disability benefits.
