Background to CES
CES was set up in 2008 to enable good quality research and evidence among policy makers and practitioners, while also working to provide that evidence. An early focus on children and young people is still core to our work. We now work with an increasing number of government departments, statutory agencies, community and voluntary providers and international organisations. CES has expanded its reach in health, social care, housing, justice, and education.
Our purpose and vision
At CES we believe that Ireland and Northern Ireland should and can have excellent public services and we want to play our part in making that a reality.
We are committed to our purpose, to improve the lives of people on the island of Ireland by supporting the implementation of excellent public services through evidence-informed policy and practice.
Our vision in CES is to be a trusted partner in the design, development, implementation and evaluation of public policies and services.
How CES works
Originally funded through philanthropic and state grants, CES is increasingly funded through income generation in providing expert support aligned with our charitable status. CES supports service providers and policy makers in delivering improved outcomes and value for people living in our communities.
We add value and provide opportunities for partners through our local and global connections, perspectives, development and funding opportunities, including within the European Union. Our focus is on understanding the common experiences and needs of people to better evidence, design and deliver improved services.
