About IFF Public Sector

IFF Research is a leading partner to public sector organisations in the UK and we regularly work for central and local government, government agencies and regulators.

With over 40 years experience the IFF Public Sector team has particular strengths in the following areas:

  • Learning, training, education and skills
  • Employment and recruitment practices
  • Entrepreneurship
  • Business development, advice and support
  • Branding and communication
  • Equality and diversity
  • Working practices and organisational culture
  • We are renowned for delivering high quality research that helps to evaluate and shape national policies in all the key areas of the Public Sector.

    While there is no such thing as a typical project, our example case studies hopefully demonstrate our thoughtful and creative approach to tackling what are often highly complex policy (and research) issues.

    We undertake all types and sizes of project from small-scale studies involving focus groups or in-depth discussions, to large-scale quantitative studies involving many thousands of interviews with employers or the public.

    Audiences with whom we have recently undertaken studies include:

  • Employers
  • Learners (including those at school, FE, HE and on work-based learning)
  • Training providers
  • Employees
  • The general public
  • Housing associations and their tenants
  • Local authorities
  • The long term unemployed
  • Staff delivering government programmes
  • Pension scheme trustees
