Research

Politis undertakes applied research, evidence reviews and evaluation for public-sector organisations, regulators and other bodies with public responsibilities.

Our work helps organisations understand problems, assess how policies and services are working and establish what the evidence supports.

Research services

Our work includes:

Applied and qualitative research.
Evidence and policy reviews.
Service and programme evaluation.
Stakeholder and community engagement.
Organisational research.

We work with clients to establish what needs to be investigated and the most appropriate way to undertake the research.

Where relevant evidence already exists, we examine its quality and limitations before recommending further work.

Reporting findings

We report our findings clearly, including any limitations in the evidence. Where appropriate, we make recommendations based on the research.

We distinguish between what the evidence establishes, what remains uncertain and where further investigation may be needed.

Citizen Centric

Citizen Centric is a research and engagement platform developed by Politis Ltd.

It can support suitable research projects involving invited participants, including studies that examine people’s experiences over time.

The platform is available where it is appropriate to the research. Its use is optional.
