Happer Research 

​Bridging research, policy and practice to improve outcomes for children, young people, families, schools and communities.

I am a highly experienced researcher with specialist expertise in SEND, inclusion, children’s services, mental health and wellbeing, youth employment, and supervision in education. I have a strong track record of delivering high-quality, policy-relevant research and evaluation for government departments, charities, and education providers. I have extensive experience working with local authorities and Virtual Schools to design and deliver research and evaluation that directly informs service development and improvement.
