Turning shared challenges into collective solutions
As the Coram Institute’s innovation and improvement arm, Coram-i helps leaders tackle complex challenges through insights, innovation and cross-sector thinking. We host the Coram-i Network, bringing together senior leaders, innovators and partners to tackle shared challenges collectively, reducing duplication and accelerating learning across the sector.
Who we are
We bring together research, practice insight, lived experience and innovation to help children’s services leaders tackle complex challenges and improve outcomes for children and families. Through the Coram-i Network, flagship programmes, leadership development and cross-sector collaboration, we connect people, evidence and ideas to accelerate learning, support innovation and drive system improvement across children’s social care.
Why we exist
Children’s services are facing increasingly complex challenges
No single organisation can solve these challenges alone. We exist to bring together evidence, practice insight, innovation and collaboration, helping leaders turn shared challenges into collective solutions. By connecting people, ideas and learning across the sector, we support more effective, responsive and innovative services that improve outcomes for children and young people.
How we work
Children’s social care faces complex challenges that require collaboration across organisations, disciplines and sectors. The Coram-i Network brings together leaders, practitioners, innovators, researchers, funders and partners to identify shared priorities, explore solutions and accelerate learning across the system.
