- Policy analyses
- Scoping studies
- Organisational reviews...
Just three of the ways we can help clients make decisions and develop strategies.
DMSS is experienced in working with a range of organisations in the voluntary and statutory sectors. We combine research expertise with policy knowledge and hands-on experience of managing and delivering services in a complex environment.
Support we have provided to clients includes up-to-date and accessible reviews of relevant research to inform planning; environmental scans and analyses of relevant policy developments; facilitation of organisational reviews and strategy development.
In 2008/9 Di McNeish was a Specialist Advisor to the government’s Beacon Scheme (Round 10), Preventing and Tackling Child Poverty, and a member of the Independent Commission on Social Mobility set up by the Liberal Democrats.
She is currently a member of the team working on Sir Michael Marmot's review of health inequalities for the Department of Health.
“Coram commissioned DMSS to scan the current policy and practice environment in children’s services, as part of the work to renew our organisational strategy. They provided exactly the help we needed: contributing in-depth knowledge of the sector, strong skills in working with Coram’s management team, and a well-written paper.”
