Nuffield Family Justice Observatory was established by the Nuffield Foundation, it is currently funded until 2029.
It works in three closely linked ways
-
Doing research to fill the most urgent gaps in knowledge about children, families and their experiences.
-
Fostering collaboration, connecting everyone from judges to social workers to heads of children’s services to reflect on the evidence and insights we gather.
-
Inspiring new ideas and new ways of working, to make sure research turns into real change.
Data tracker
The Nuffield Family Justice Observatory Data Tracker brings together data about children and families in the family justice system from national administrative data and other studies into one easy-to-use dashboard.
The dashboard is regularly updated, tracking numbers of children and families, their demographics, outcomes and other analysis – from before court, through court proceedings, to after court, across both public and private law in England and Wales.
