Ending Violence Against Women and Children Helpdesk
About the Helpdesk
The Helpdesk is a research and advice service for the UK Government to help prevent violence against women and children. We offer a high-quality, tailored service that is flexible to staff needs at different stages of the policy and programming cycle, and across sectors and themes.
The Helpdesk is staffed by experienced senior researchers and draws on experts from across the What Works consortium and a pool of over 80 pre-screened experts – both international and national.
