About us
Who we are
The Centre for Transforming Access and Student Outcomes (TASO) is an affiliate What Works Centre, and part of the UK Government’s What Works Movement. Our aim is to help eliminate equality gaps in higher education (HE) through evidence-informed practice.
TASO was set up in 2019 and became an independent charity in April 2021. Our work focuses on the generation, synthesis and dissemination of high-quality evidence about effective practice in widening participation and student outcomes. We primarily focus on developing and disseminating causal evidence and we encourage the HE sector to do the same by providing higher education professionals access to research, toolkits, evaluation guidance, networks, evaluation training and more.
