Welcome to Second Perspective

Sound research is the cornerstone of effective policy development and best practice implementation in the public sector. Whether you’re a local authority, voluntary organisation, health or social services provider, you need accurate, insightful and unbiased information on which to build improved service and support provision for your customers and service users.

Investigating equality, diversity and inclusion

At Second Perspective we specialise in research and policy development that aims to improve equality and social inclusion, strengthen diversity and enhance the well being of under-represented groups. We are independent of any public body, ensuring our results deliver the impartiality and integrity you demand.

Working with local authorities, voluntary groups and statutory bodies

We have worked with secondary schools to implement positive psychology strategies to tackle bullying, with the NHS to examine the mental health needs and service experiences of the lesbian, gay and bisexual community, and with local authorities to develop Citizenship curriculum materials in line with research findings and the Every Child Matters adgenda.

Research tailored to your needs

We bring academic rigour and discipline to the business of market research, using appropriate qualitative and quantitative techniques to uncover the insights you need to progress and enhance your services.

Putting research findings into practice

At Second Perspective we go beyond simply delivering research findings – we work with you to put our findings into practice. We’ll support you every step of the way in developing best-practice strategies and services based on the results of our research.
