Research at SSAC

Our research supports the advice we give to ministers and the discussions we have with our stakeholders.


We carry out research as part of our independent work programme. The purpose of our research is to:

  • provide an evidence base for our work, improving members’ ability to scrutinise regulations and provide credible independent advice to ministers
  • add value to the debate on a topic that is of current interest to government or a broad range of our stakeholders
  • stimulate debate or discussion of a specific topic
  • introduce new thinking on data analysis
