The cost committed to date of setting up the What Works Centre for Children’s Social Care is £9,804,191.00 million. In October 2017, two contracts were awarded by Department for Education to establish the What Works Centre. A consortium led by NESTA was awarded the contract for an ‘incubator’, to develop the infrastructure, recruit the leadership team and develop the communications and dissemination strategy. Cardiff University was awarded the ‘research partner’ role to start the evidence synthesis and begin new trials and evaluations where there are gaps in the current evidence base. Both contracts will run until March 2020.
