Evidencing. Evaluating. Iterating. Independently.
Evidence underpins everything we create and deliver. Resources. Training. Information. Evaluation allows us to understand if it works.
As a social enterprise, our evidence and evaluation is independently funded, conducted, commissioned and published.
It means when we scale our projects and services, we do so knowing it works.
Research
Explaining the digital world
We conduct and commission research into the issues affecting children, young people and families in the digital age.
LIstening: We turn to parents and young people to understand how technology impacts family life.
Purpose: We use this data to shape our content and delivery, and support policymakers.
Consultation
Parenting-friendly policy
Our evidence helps shape our responses to consultations on legislation, providing a voice that advocates for parenting.
Responses: Our evidence is developed and funded by Parent Zone and is independent of any other projects.
Purpose: Our briefings explain emerging trends and harms in the online world.
Evaluation
Understanding what works
We don't just deliver our programmes. We independently evaluate them, to understand what really works when it comes to supporting digital family life.
Impact: Our evaluations help us recognise whether programmes work.
Iteration: Understanding impact allows us to refine and grow effectively at scale.
