Research and tips
Research and publications
Barnardo’s Policy and Research team collects, communicates and supports the application of research evidence for the benefit of children, young people and their families.
Campaigning and influencing
The team also plays a key role in our campaigning and influencing work. Working in consultation with local projects and community groups, along with government agencies and professionals in the childcare world, our research informs not only our own work practices but also contributes to the development of guidelines and policy at a national level.
This work includes:
- Campaign documents
- Responses to government consultations
- Parliamentary and professional briefings
- Working in partnership on research projects
