Our Methodology

All CAER research follows an 'education translation pipeline' to ensure that promising scientific research is translated rapidly but safely into policy, identifying important contextual factors for effective implementation, and allowing the best possible evidence to underpin decision making.

Evidence-based Practice

Our eight themes of work were developed on the basis of the evidence and insights provided by teachers and schools to the Royal Society and British Academy in a series of focus group sessions published in 2017.

Our themes and place-based working ensures that we have evidence at the heart of our whole system approach to tackling structural inequalities and supporting children and young people from 0-25 years of age in partnership with communities and educational organisations.
