The Child Outcomes Research Consortium (CORC) is the UK’s leading membership organisation that collects and uses evidence to improve children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing. Founded in 2002 by a group of mental health professionals determined to understand the impact of their work, today our network includes mental health providers, education settings, cultural and community services, local authorities, professional bodies and research institutions from across Europe and beyond.
Members of the CORC team provide a range of expert support for the collection, analysis and reporting of data and the use of data to improve services, as well as training and knowledge-sharing opportunities.
We manage a membership and network who share a commitment to collecting and using evidence to improve children and young people's mental health and wellbeing.
We consult with an Advisory Group regularly, made up of a diverse group of young people, parents and carers, and professionals with a commitment to progressing CORC's vision
We all recognise children and young people's right to have their views heard and acted upon - to have space, voice, audience and influence. We use the Lundy model to enact this across our work.
