About us

Welcome to the The Knowledge Exchange
For the past 40 years, we've been the first port of call for knowledge on public and social policy and practice.

How we help our members
Our support for frontline staff, senior managers and policymakers draws on wide-ranging policy theme expertise and provides timely insight.

Research support and enquiry service
Our team of researchers can help with literature searches and information queries online, over the phone or by email.

Briefings
We provide insight into the trends, policies and behaviours that shape the public sector. Our work is independent, robust and shaped by what our members need to know.

Accessible and personalised
The latest policy, research and comment brought to your inbox or available online 24/7.
