Given the growing demand and complexity in children’s services and with the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic being felt most harshly by our most vulnerable families, the need for innovation has never been greater.

In this context, Coram is conducting a national survey of all children’s services – local authorities, voluntary agencies and independent providers – as well as innovation alliances and wider public bodies. We want to find out about the extent to which organisations are able to innovate; the resources directed towards, and approaches to, innovation; and the barriers hampering innovation. We are also keen to identify and promote promising innovative practices across the sector, and learn about some of the most pressing challenges organisations are facing. The findings will inform the National Innovation Report, which will be published towards the end of January 2021.

We want to hear from as many of those in the sector as possible by 18th January, so please do complete the survey by clicking on this link.

If you have any questions about the survey, please email, [email protected]

Thank you
