About us
Who we are
The Child Outcomes Research Consortium (CORC) is the UK’s leading membership organisation that collects and uses evidence to improve children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing.
Founded in 2002 by a group of mental health professionals determined to understand the impact of their work, today our members include mental health service providers, schools, professional bodies and research institutions from across Europe and beyond.
We analyse and interpret data relating to mental health and wellbeing outcomes of more than 400,000 children and young people in the UK, representing the largest data set of this kind worldwide.
CORC's vision is for all children and young people's wellbeing support to be informed by real-world evidence so that every child thrives.
Our mission is to promote the meaningful use of evidence to enable more effective and child-centred support, services and systems to improve children and young people's mental health and wellbeing.
Our values define the way we do things at CORC. We are honest, curious, challenging and respectful.
