Profile
I am the Chief Executive of Foundations. Prior to my current role I was chief executive of the Early Intervention Foundation (EIF) from August 2017 until its merger with What Works for Children’s Social Care in December 2022. I have spent 25 years leading research on how government and public services can best support children and families. Prior to joining EIF, I worked at the Institute for Government, Nesta and the Centre for Economic & Social Inclusion.
How evidence is used
I am interested in bringing together the academic evidence on how evidence is used with the practical experience of organisations trying to get evidence used.
Measuring impact of evidence organisations
I am interested in using approaches from behavioural science to measure the impact of generating evidence on changing policy and practice.
