The Centre uses its expertise and extensive on-the-ground experience to conduct research, develop tools, guides, and other resources to support companies and stakeholders, including UN agencies, governments, NGOs, and industry associations, on a wide range of child and human rights due diligence and related risks.


We carry out both targeted research into specific supply chain issues and broader studies that offer a more comprehensive view of supply chain risks.


With our proven ability to capture workers' perspectives, understand suppliers' challenges, and gather stakeholder insights, we help bridge gaps between different supply chain actors. Our studies enhance organisations’ understanding of child rights risks at industry, country, or regional levels, helping to pinpoint risk hotspots and providing practical, evidence-based recommendations for addressing these issues.


In addition to commissioned research, The Centre publishes studies using both quantitative and qualitative methods, which are available on our website and shared through launch events. Most of these studies are self-funded, aimed at raising awareness of child rights risks and solutions within the business community.


Contact us to learn how The Centre’s research and insights can provide you with the latest information and trends on child rights and human rights due diligence in supply chains.
