Policy and research services
We have extensive experience of working with clients to prepare policies, strategies, action plans and assembling the evidence based to support these. We undertake both desk and field research, and can deploy a range of research methods including mystery shopping, interviews and focus groups.
Our work covers a broad range of areas which include:
- Climate change strategies
- Climate change adaptation strategies
- Energy awareness strategies
- Transport strategies
- Carbon reduction and carbon descent planning
- Environmental policies
- Affordable energy and fuel poverty
- Core strategy and local development frameworks
Our approach
We aim to produce material which is accessible, concise, and useful. To help with this we allocate time at the start of a project to find out what factors are going to be critical to the success of the policy, strategy or action plan.
