About Nesta

Nesta is an innovation foundation. For us, innovation means turning bold ideas into reality and changing lives for the better. We use our expertise, skills and funding in areas where there are big challenges facing society.

The What Works Centre for Children’s Social Care was an initiative to foster evidence-informed practice in children’s social care. The Development Team helped to identify what the Centre should focus on, how it will identify, generate and share evidence, and how the Centre should be managed and led to ensure that its activities lead to change.
