About Us The Social Research Unit is an independent charity that works to improve the health and development of children, primarily in Europe and North America. This is not a vision statement. The Unit seeks clear evidence of the impact of its work on child outcomes. This goal is achieved by three means. High quality research seeks the potential causes of impairment in children’s lives and the value of children’s services. Development work applies high quality evidence to policies and practices in communities, local and central government. |

How to help us Innovation is at the heart of our work. Financial support from individual donors is used to test ideas that are too speculative for mainstream funders. If you would like to donate, contact the Unit administrator Kay Turner or contribute online at the Donations Page. |
