Nesta [1] is a UK-based innovation charity that supports ideas that address socio-economic challenges and help improve people’s lives. The charity achieves this through promoting and investing in innovative ideas, influencing larger systems such as governments, delivering programmes, and conducting research both in the UK and internationally [2]. For example, a 2015 join report with the NSPCC ‘Knowing How to Protect: Using Research Evidence to Prevent Harm to Children’, argued for the greater use of evidence to support the professional judgement of social workers working with children to prevent harm [3]. |
