ASK Research Partners provided us with a really rich resource that led to some good, proportionate recommendations. Their research has also landed at a very opportune time and will be incredibly useful to guide our policy work now that we are navigating a new funding arrangement and potentially a new strategic direction from the government. Furthermore, It has been great working with them and I really appreciated the energy and insight they brought to the work.

We have worked with ASK Research Partners on a variety of evaluation projects across our suite of programmes. They are experts in both quantitative and qualitative research and have always provided high-quality research outputs. ASK are flexible and adaptable and go over and above to ensure that we deliver against our outcomes as a charity. The team work hard to understand and embed themselves within programme delivery which supports them to be able to draw high-quality recommendations that are evidence-based. We would not hesitate to work with them again in the future.

ASK Research Partners and CIPD partnered on a project with the LGA to provide insights on the use of metrics within local authorities. The ASK Research Partners team have gone over and above to deliver an outstanding research paper within a very tight timescale. They invested significant time to understand and explore the brief to ensure the output exceeded the requirements. Their open and friendly approach with regular clear and concise communication ensured the project was delivered on time. Their investigation of academic research was deep, and they also conducted significant qualitative research with extensive stakeholder engagement. The report was created in a professional manner that was easy to understand and absorb. The whole service and process they provided was faultless and I could not recommend ASK Research Partners enough to to them justice. Outstanding performance! I look forward to future projects where we can partner again. I have no doubt ASK Research Partners will be the very first door I will be knocking upon.

Evaluating health and social care services is vital to CLIC Sargent to ensure that the service we deliver achieves the outcomes we aim for and meet our service users’ needs. This is important for charities like us who need to account for money spent and ensure donors understand the value of their contribution. When we were implementing a new outreach nurse educator service to help children with cancer and their families feel more confident in accessing local care, we asked Research-Partners to undertake the evaluation. From the outset they brought great ideas to the table, such as how to evaluate alongside innovative methods of engaging stakeholders to give their feedback, using a mixed-methods approach.
Throughout the two-year project, Claire and Jane were easy to communicate with, offered constructive challenge and support, delivered exactly what they said they could within expected timescales, at various check-points, and within budget. The resulting report provided a comprehensive picture of our service development and will be a platform for us to continue to influence safe care closer to home for children with cancer.
