Social Research

We have a dedicated team comprised of internal consultants and external associates who have significant experience of working with a wide range of socially excluded groups and have expertise in the following areas:

• Programme and project evaluations
• Widening participation and social exclusion research
• Learner needs and satisfaction analysis
• Mosaic segmentation
• Equality and diversity research
• Workforce development
• Employer and employee skills surveys
• Community development

 

Using innovative methodological approaches ComRes can bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to each project with staff who are learning and skills specialists, social geographers, statisticians, business development experts, and labour market and project management specialists. In terms of techniques we have extensive experience in both qualitative and quantitative approaches and have substantial experience of conducting-

• Focus groups
Delphi techniques
• Surveys, (internet, telephone and face to face)
• Primary and secondary data analysis
• Video for dissemination and marketing
• In depth discussions with a range of individuals
• Case studies
• Action research

Uniquely, ComRes has access to a diverse range of panels amongst key groups such as UK politicians, local government officers, MEPs and faith groups. We are seeking to build on this and develop panels for social research which can be drawn upon by public and voluntary sector clients to assist in policy and strategy development. Through providing services to a wide array of clients consultants at ComRes can help to drive policy initiatives forward and develop timely and responsive practice based evidence.

ComRes has perfected the use of an in-house project control and management system which enables effective control of expenditure and monitoring of progress on a weekly basis across project teams. The system also helps ensure that a consistent high level of quality is maintained across our deliverables. Each project is assigned a Project Director, main high level experienced point of contact and Project Manager responsible for the day to co-ordination of tasks. We are members of Social Research Association (SRA) and adhere to quality and ethical guidelines as prescribed by the SRA
