Policy & research

Uncovering and sharing

We work with thousands of adults and young people each year in their communities.

That means we have insights to share on how policy can best support people to change their lives and widen their opportunities.

We undertake research to help continuously improve our services, support innovation and learn from best practice. We work with participants, employers and other stakeholders to carry out research and recommend policy change where we think that this is needed.

Some of the topics we have looked at recently include how to support in-work progression for lower-paid employees, the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on different sectors of the economy and the impact of gender stereotypes in the labour market.
