We carry out an extensive policy and research programme - promoting best practice, influencing the research agenda and working with a variety of agencies in the voluntary, statutory and private sectors.
Research is at the core of the Institute's activities to support families and promote the wellbeing of children. The Institute leads thinking and innovative development across family policy, the interface between family and state and family services. It examines the way family life is lived in the 21st century, and addresses family relationships, intergenerational dynamics, issues of diversity, and the location of families within communities and society. It advises government, parliament and the wider policy arena, and undertakes major research studies, knowledge reviews, policy briefings and ideas reports. The Institute is an ESRC recognised research body and has joint projects with the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, East Anglia, London and Oxford.
