Our impact
In 2023-24 we reached 356,200 people, running 760 services and partnerships across the UK. Read more about the impact we had on children, young people and their families below.
We asked Barnardo’s to help us review our safeguarding policy and deliver training on our behalf and experienced nothing but a first-class professional service. Highly competent and knowledgeable. The service we received was tailored to meet our exact needs and provided real value for money. I will seek their help again if the need arises and would recommend their services without hesitation.
Charity
We commissioned Barnardo’s to undertake a sensitive research report to inform our understanding of past practice and assess our cultural approach. A detailed and thorough report was produced that has helped us to learn and to plan our future direction. The quality of the relationship with Barnardo’s was excellent and highly professional, and the recommendations included in the report were extremely valuable to us.
