C4EO

For the first time, excellence in local practice, combined with high quality research and data about 'what works' is being gathered in one place, creating a single comprehensive centre of evidence. C4EO supports and constructively challenges the sector by sharing high quality, up-to-date evidence and really effective practice, making it easily accessible to those who need to work in a 'low cost-high impact' environment.

"Our aim is to gather and share evidence about what makes the most significant difference to outcomes for vulnerable groups of children, young people and their families, supporting the sector to narrow the gap in society." Christine Davies, Director C4EO.
