Research
At The Children's Society we regularly carry out research to learn more about the issues affecting children and to gain a broader perspective on how they interact and relate to their peers and families.

One of our primary areas of research concerns children and young people who run away from home are care. Our latest report on these vulnerable young people is Still Running 3 (report, campaign summary).
Through our specialist research we strive to position ourselves as the leading authority on matters affecting children, providing solid evidence to achieve this and influencing public policy where it's needed.
Our team of researchers also offer children and young people the opportunity to be active participants in our research wherever possible.
