Ipsos Public Affairs hires children and families lead

Ozan was previously at the policy evaluation and research unit at Manchester Metropolitan University, where she led child and family related projects.

In addition to her time in Manchester, Ozan has also worked on research and evaluation projects for governments and third sector organisations in the UK, Republic of Ireland and France as well as for the European Commission.

Ozan also helped establish the first pan-European longitudinal survey measuring child and youth wellbeing, was a doctoral fellow at the Unesco Child and Family Research Centre and leads the ethics group for the UK Evaluation Society Council.

Trinh Tu, managing director at Ipsos Public Affairs, said: “Jessica will be a wonderful addition to our thriving public affairs team, and I am delighted to have her on board. 

“Her evaluation expertise and network in child, youth and families research, both in the UK and internationally, will be invaluable to our government and public sector clients, as is her active role in the UK Evaluation Society Council, which we are passionate about at Ipsos.”
