CES works to promote the use of evidence in policy making and service design and development. We have a strong track record of undertaking evidence synthesis to support policy development in Ireland and Northern Ireland. We have delivered evaluations of large-scale national programmes on behalf of government or the public sector to inform future policy. We have supported governmental collaborations to enable a whole of government approach and the implementation of policy into services.
