Trauma-Informed research and evaluation to improve processes and impact, demonstrate outcomes and inform pathway development.
WHY CHOOSE US?
With a proven, trauma-informed approach, we ensure our research leads to actionable insights that benefit public sector services directly.
Expertise
Collaboration
Working Together
We have over 8 years experience in producing evaluative research for national and local government and working with a range of public sector and third sector services. Our work is underpinned by a clinically informed understanding of trauma, PTSD and CPTSD, meaning our research is ethical, safe and produces accurate and in-depth data when working with vulnerable populations. We also understand organisational and systemic trauma, so bring this nuanced recognition into research when working with services who are often under pressure and over capacity. Our previous work has led to repeated re-commissioning of services and has informed service design and development.
We believe in partnering with stakeholders to understand the context within which they are working, as a service and within the networks in which they operate. This means our research can accurately respond to the business' aims and findings are contextualised against the local landscape.
Alongside stakeholders, we also prioritise voices of lived experience, designing research which is bespoke to each participant, treating their story and experience as crucial data.
Integrity
Transparent Practices
We uphold stringent ethical standards in our research, ensuring transparency throughout the entire process. We bring the rigour of academic ethical processes, and also layer our own trauma-specific ethical lens. These prioritise the physical, psychological and cultural safety of all participants, while maximising research quality.
Outcome Focused
Recognising Progress
Our research is diligently focused on recognising, highlighting and producing outcomes. The work you commission will respond to your business concerns, ensuring you come away with usable data that can inform your next steps and future success.
We also recognise that for many in public sector work, 'hard outcomes' can be challenging to demonstrate, yet the path to the attainment of these is paved by seldom-measured 'soft outcomes.' We are fluent in realising these less tangible outcomes and demonstrating how these are critical steps and indicators that services are on track and creating meaningful change.
