Child Outcomes Research Consortium (CORC)

We collect and use evidence to enable more effective child-centred support, services and systems to improve children and young people's mental health and wellbeing. We have 20 years' experience in bringing together theoretical knowledge on outcome measurement and relating this to the insights and expertise developed by practitioners working with children and young people on the ground.

We hold data relating to mental health and wellbeing outcomes of more than 400,000 children and young people in the UK, representing the largest data set of this kind worldwide.

Members of the CORC team provide a range of 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, such as the annual CORC Forum and Spring Seminars Series.

CORC is part of the Anna Freud Centre - a world-leading mental health charity for children and families that has developed and delivered pioneering mental health care for over sixty years.
