About the Organisation

The charity is the national What Works Centre for Children and Families.

To do this, we work directly with government and national stakeholders, and with local leaders to embed evidence in policy and practice, and to drive change.

The priority areas – supporting parenting, strengthening family networks, tackling domestic abuse and relationships for care-experienced children and young people - are media-friendly, topical and frequently high profile. If you want to join a committed and skilled team dedicated to making a difference to children and families, we would like to hear from you.
