Foundations is the national What Works Centre for Children & Families, established in 2022 with a clear vision: that vulnerable children have the foundational relationships they need to thrive.
To deliver this vision, children need effective support that is shown to make a difference to their outcomes – and that’s why our mission is to generate and champion actionable evidence improves services to support family relationships.
We focus on children who need targeted support to address family-level risks, children experiencing harm or abuse in the home and children in care and care leavers.
