Engagement conversations: Spotlight on UNICEF Office of Research - Innocenti

The Impact and Engaged Research Network is delighted to welcome Dominic Richardson, Senior Education Specialist, UNICEF Office of Research - Innocenti. Dominic will discuss the work undertaken by UNICEF’s Office of Research and specifically its Education specialists. He will highlight how he and his colleagues work with Universities around the world to deliver research programmes that help to safeguard the rights of all children, in all circumstances.

Dominic Richardson joined Innocenti in 2015, working on issues of equity in education and the relationships between schooling, school outcomes and child well-being. His position will strengthen the research capacity and support the integration and extraction of findings related to education and learning across all components of the applied research programme on well-being. 

Dominic has worked extensively with OECD Social Policy Division in evaluating child and family policies and in designing frameworks through which indicators of child well-being outcomes can be compared.

Dominic has been a contributor to UNICEF Innocenti Report Cards on child well-being in rich countries, and authored a joint EC OECD project evaluating large international surveys of school children in developed countries.
