Our expertise

The Bridge Group brings expertise in three key areas:

By keeping research focused, framing research questions so they are relevant and producing practicable recommendations, tools and programmes to help clients achieve change.

By gathering, analysing and interpreting data, including quantitative data from large national sets, organisational data, and qualitative data from interviews and focus groups. 

By offering research and recommendations that are responsive to context, by drawing on expertise from our network of Fellows and contributors, regarding organisational context and national policy drivers. 

How can we help you?

If you are an organisation looking to better understand social inequality or improve the socio-economic diversity of your staff, students or beneficiaries, we may be able to help.

We work with organisations of all types, all sizes and at all stages across the public, private and third sectors.

Research and evaluation
We undertake research and evaluation relating to socio-economic diversity and equality in higher education and the labour market.

We gather evidence and, combined with our practical know-how, we make meaningful change.

We also research broader issues relating to socio-economic diversity and equality and disseminate our findings to everyone.

Advice, advocacy and dissemination
We provide advice on a wide range of topics, from identifying and attracting diverse talent, to evaluation frameworks and negotiating internal support for change.

We work with colleagues from schools, government, universities, charities and other organisations.

We help experts and stakeholders in social equality to share their expertise and find out about our latest research, by bringing people together across sectors through regular on-line events.

We facilitate collaborative working within professional consortia, bringing together representatives who are already engaged in social equality and helping them to identify collective and individual actions.
