Safer London is seeking a provider to undertake research focussed on relationships of trust with a voluntary sector agency supporting children, young people, families, and communities impacted by violence and exploitation over a 6-month period.   We are looking for a skilled researcher or research team to take a hybrid approach to evaluation and research. By this, we mean an approach which considers a combination of the different methodologies applied for research and evaluation purposes. We want the research to focus on our services and explore the impact of the trusted relationships which are central to our services; however, this is not intended to be solely an evaluation of our services, as we are seeking to learn more about the conditions needed to build trusted relationships, both with individual workers and the organisation. The successful applicant would need to have expertise in the field of evaluation and experience in embedded research.
