Supporting children, young people and families to thrive

At Cordis Bright, we help partners evaluate and strengthen services that let children, young people and families thrive – especially those facing the greatest challenges.

Our work with children, young people and families spans prevention, early intervention, targeted support and specialist provision.

Whether you’re seeking to strengthen early intervention, improve outcomes for children or young people with specific needs, respond to rising demand, or deliver system-wide reform, we bring the expertise and practical insight to help you succeed. Our focus is always on translating evidence into meaningful, lasting improvements in young people’s lives.

What we can help you with

We support central government, local authorities, health partners, criminal justice services, What Works Centres and the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector to:

• Understand local need through robust research and data analysis (in areas including SEND, Looked After Children, Adverse Childhood Experiences).
• Evaluate and improve programmes, funds, services and organisations supporting children and young people, including national reforms and local transformation programmes. 
• Improve partnership working across children’s social care, health, police, and VCSE organisations.
• Embed the voices of children and young people in service design, delivery and evaluation, with ethics, equality, diversity and inclusion at the centre. 
• Strengthen safeguarding and quality of practice, drawing on first-hand leadership and inspection experience.
• Address financial, caseload and practice pressures within children’s services.
• Build the foundation for sustainable change, by developing recommendations that are easily embedded and have lasting impact for children, young people and families.

We have experience of working with services focused on looked after children and care leavers; SEND and neurodivergence; youth justice, diversion and prevention; multiple and complex needs; mental health; specialist provision; domestic abuse; education and employment; early help for families; and universal youth provision.
