Children, young people and families are the focus of many aspects of social policy - from health and housing to crime and poverty reduction - that increasingly emphasize prevention. In the UK ‘Every Child Matters’, ‘The Children’s Plan’, and ‘Think Family’ place duties upon policy and practice at national, regional and local levels.

GHK provides the research, evaluation and policy expertise that is essential for understanding the effectiveness of both strategic and practice approaches and the complex environment characterised by multi-agency and partnership working, the need for capacity building and third sector involvement.

GHK works with clients, ranging from national government to local projects, to help them understand evidence and improve outcomes for children, young people and families.
