Impact Research NZ conducts high quality research and evaluation in the social services sector. We have undertaken projects in the areas of health, education, disability, community programmes, aged care, drug and alcohol harm minimisation, social housing, violence prevention, and childhood early intervention services.
We have undertaken Results Based Accountability pilots for the Ministry of Social Development, Family and Community Services and Community, and Youth and Family Services; and for Presbyterian Support Northern on the Social Workers in Schools (SWiS) programme.
Impact Research NZ utilises a broad range of research methodologies and techniques, incorporating qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods approaches. Research project designs are tailored to meet the specific needs of individual organisations, and to achieve their desired objectives.

Security of data:
Individual client and participant anonymity and confidentiality is paramount. This means that research client reports will not identify individual participants, nor will information provided by any participant be able to be linked back to the participant. However, aggregate reports based on work with a range of clients may be shared with the sector. In these wider reports, individual client organisations will not be able to be identified, unless they have given their permission.
