Scarlett has a first-class BA (Hons) in Anthropology from the University of Bristol and an MSc in Medical Anthropology from Durham University. Scarlett has held a research position at the NIHR, where she conducted in-depth health care policy analysis for the innovative TAPCARE study, which aims to help primary care settings become ‘trauma-informed’ - prevent the re-traumatisation of patients who have experienced domestic violence.

   

Scarlett’s skills include:

  • Conducting semi-structured interviews and focus groups.
  • Designing research tools such as interview guides and surveys.
  • Thematically coding interview transcripts and policy papers.
  • Undertaking rigorous desk-based research to produce detailed literature reviews.
  • Collaborating with senior researchers to deliver co-produced, peer-reviewed research.

Scarlett’s recent and current projects include:

  • Feasibility study of Drive’s Restart programme (2024-2025) – Restart aims to improve responses to perpetrators of domestic abuse in families by focusing on ensuring perpetrators are held responsible for their actions. Crucially, this may involve seeking alternative accommodation for perpetrators, helping child and adult victim-survivors to remain safe at home. So far, Scarlett has conducted evidence, document review and outcomes measures reviews to inform Restart’s theory of change.
  • Bolton Council Mental Health Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) - Scarlett consulted with system stakeholders and conducted documentation reviews to produce overviews on the relationship between mental health with different population and environmental factors. These overviews highlighted demands for mental health support in Bolton, and gaps in commissioning which could help meet these needs.
  • Evaluation of GamCare’s Lived Experience Peer Support Service – GamCare’s new Lived Experience Peer Support Service matches individuals to volunteers for peer support via email. Our process evaluation was designed to provide rapid real-time learning during the early stages of service implementation. To support this, Scarlett conducted a document review and interviews with GamCare staff and volunteers.
  • Process evaluation of Barnardo’s SEEN – SEEN is a national centre established by Barnardo’s to improve outcomes for children and young people of African, Asian and Caribbean heritage with a focus on health, education, employment, and criminal justice. Scarlett conducted a document review and interviews with SEEN staff, Barnardo’s stakeholders and SEEN delivery partners to capture good practice and lessons for improvement, with a view to establishing a plan for capturing evidence of impact.

Before joining Cordis Bright, Scarlett worked for Verita Consultancy Ltd, where she transcribed and thematically coded interviews of staff and patients for the Independent Investigation into East Kent Maternity Services. The recommendations developed from Scarlett’s work were published in the final investigation report given to the Department of Health and Social Care in October 2022.
