Evidence & BEYOND brings specialist depth in five areas: Research, Evidence Use and Research Uptake; Education and Whole-School Violence Prevention Approaches; Workplace Gender-Based Violence and Harassment Prevention; Parenting and Family Strengthening; and Violence Against Women Prevention and Response.
Each is a distinct area of expertise, but they often intersect. We draw on these connections to help partners see the fuller picture, make informed decisions and shape responses that reflect both the evidence and the realities in which change must happen.
Strong evidence-to-action work begins long before findings are shared. The questions asked, the methods chosen, whose knowledge is included and how use is planned from the outset all shape whether evidence is credible, relevant and usable.
Evidence & BEYOND brings deep expertise across this full journey. We design and lead rigorous research and evaluation, synthesise and interpret evidence, and strengthen the relationships, capabilities and decision-making processes that support research uptake. By connecting evidence generation with evidence use from the beginning, we help partners produce knowledge that can inform policy, strengthen programmes and guide investment.
Children’s safety, wellbeing and ability to learn are shaped by far more than what happens in the classroom. Relationships with teachers and peers, school leadership, family engagement, everyday practices and the wider education system all influence whether a school feels safe and inclusive.
Evidence & BEYOND brings deep expertise in how these influences work together. We understand what it takes to engage learners, educators, school leaders, families and communities while strengthening the policies, practices and systems that prevent and respond to school-related violence. This whole-school lens helps partners shape approaches that are grounded in evidence, responsive to school realities and practical to implement.
Policies set expectations, but people experience safety through leadership, workplace culture, everyday norms and what happens when concerns are raised. Effective prevention and response depend on these elements working together.
Evidence & BEYOND brings deep expertise in the organisational conditions and systems needed to prevent and respond to gender-based violence and harassment at work. We understand how leadership accountability, reporting and referral pathways, response procedures, staff capability and workplace culture reinforce one another. This perspective helps organisations move beyond compliance and embed prevention, safety and accountability in everyday workplace practice.
Parenting programmes can do more than strengthen caregiving. When they promote positive discipline, shared caregiving, equitable relationships and caregiver wellbeing, they can address some of the conditions that place children and women at risk of violence in the home.
Evidence & BEYOND brings specialist expertise in gender-transformative parenting and family strengthening as pathways to violence prevention. We understand how gender norms, power, caregiver stress, family relationships and wider social and economic pressures shape parenting and children’s safety. This perspective helps partners develop programmes that respond to families’ realities while creating safer, more nurturing and equitable homes.
Violence against women takes many forms and occurs across homes, communities, workplaces and institutions. These settings differ, but violence is often sustained by unequal power, harmful gender norms and structural conditions that limit women’s safety, choices and access to support.
Evidence & BEYOND brings specialist expertise in how these drivers interact across different social and institutional contexts. We understand that effective prevention must address the conditions that enable violence, while response systems provide accessible, survivor-centred support, protection and accountability. This lens helps partners shape strategies that connect prevention and response and are grounded in the realities of women’s lives.
Your work may sit within one focus area or cut across several. We bring the relevant expertise together to understand the connections, identify what matters most and shape a response grounded in evidence and suited to the people, settings and systems involved.
