Welcome

The Centre for Effective Services is an independent organisation that connects research, policy and good practice to improve outcomes in the lives of children, young people and communities across the island of Ireland. 

We undertake a wide range of project work to: influence policy and systems change; champion innovative service design and implementation; and build knowledge, skills and capacity within the sector. This sector includes government departments, organisations, research institutes and individuals who provide services to children, young people and communities. 

Part of a new generation of intermediary organisations across the world, our work at CES is to help children, young people and communities across the island of Ireland thrive.
