Nuffield Foundation

The Nuffield Foundation is an independent charitable trust that funds research and innovation in education, welfare, and justice. It aims to improve social well-being by supporting evidence-based policy and practice. The Foundation is newsworthy due to its funding of recent studies highlighting critical social issues. One study revealed that a decline in remote job opportunities could negatively impact employment for disabled individuals. Another landmark study, also funded by the Nuffield Foundation, found that one in four UK teenagers in care have attempted suicide, a rate four times higher than their peers without care experience. These studies underscore the Foundation's commitment to addressing pressing social challenges and informing policy decisions related to vulnerable populations and workforce inclusivity in the UK.
