Details
The Government Social Research (GSR) Strategy 2021-2025: ‘Social Research In and For Government’ has been developed by the profession for the profession as well as for allied professions, disciplines and organisations working in the area of social and behavioural research and science. We aim to reach out to and provide a voice for the social and behavioural community in government, and work together to improve our collective impact and influence. We continue to listen and work with networks and groups that share common backgrounds to increase collaboration, development and progression opportunities. GSR is committed to improve government strategy, policy and delivery through strengthening our role and ability to put people and society at the heart of government decision making. This strategy sets out where the GSR profession aims to be in 2025, and the three priority areas we will focus on to get there:
- Impactful and influential: Robust, timely and relevant evidence and advice that has a measurable impact on decision-making
- Expert and valued people: A supported, continually developed and empowered membership
- A diverse and inclusive profession: Representative of the society we serve through our values, profile and perspectives of our membership
This will enable GSR to continue developing improved people-focused decision-making at the heart of government and allow greater understanding of individuals and groups affected by those decisions.
