Details

In 2015, the Cabinet Office and the Economic and Social Research Council set up the ‘Cross-Government Trial Advice Panel’. Its launch marked the first time that the UK government had brought together a team of experts – from academia and the civil service – to support the increased use of controlled experiments in public policy.

The aim was an ambitious one: to embed a culture of experimentation in government by making it easier for civil servants to test new ways of improving public services. This report looks at the impact of this initiative.
