Becky Gulc

Becky holds an MA in Qualitative Research Methods, with her work drawing upon 20 years of research and evaluation experience. She is equally expert in both qualitative and quantitative research, predominantly managing mixed-method projects.

She is particularly interested in children, young people and families and has expertise on consulting with these groups on a wide-range of topics , from childcare through to physical and mental health. She has supported numerous local authorities across England to conduct Childcare Sufficiency Assessments and has assessed need and identified impact of Children’s Centre provision.

She has worked extensively with third sector clients such as Age UK and Living Streets. She has considerable experience with individuals with multiple and complex needs and those less likely to take part in research. This includes people with drug and alcohol issues; those facing homelessness; those with mental health issues; carers; people that are unemployed and isolated individuals. Her work has explored ‘barriers’ to services amongst particular audiences and gathered evidence of intervention impact through consulting with beneficiaries, support workers, third sector organisations and strategic leads.

Becky has also evaluated projects funded through the Big Lottery Fund; the European Social Fund; HLF; Sport England as well as central Government departments such as DfT and DfE.
