CASCADE’s aim is to improve the well-being, safety and rights of children and their families.
We do this by generating new knowledge about children’s social care and sharing new and existing knowledge in ways that help services.
We are concerned with all aspects of community responses to social need in children and families, including family support services, children in need services, child protection, looked after children and adoption.

Introducing our Annual Report
The past year has marked an important new chapter for the CASCADE Partnership as we enter our first year of sustain funding from Health and Care Research Wales. Building on the achievements of our previous infrastructure award, this has been an opportunity to reflect on our priorities, refine our research strategy and strengthen our focus on improving outcomes for children, young people and families.
Our 2025–2026 Stakeholder Report highlights the Partnership’s achievements over the past year, from securing new research funding and developing collaborations to strengthening public involvement and influencing policy and practice in Wales and beyond. It also showcases the people, partnerships and research helping to shape the next phase of CASCADE’s work.
