The Social Research Unit at Dartington is an independent charity that seeks to increase the use of evidence of what works in designing and delivering services for children and their families. They are also a strong advocate of prevention and early intervention based approaches.

They work to disseminate research on what works to people working at the frontline of services, by bridging the gap between social science evidence and everyday service delivery. They have significant expertise in the design, delivery and implementation of evidence-based programmes and interventions.
