CEI is proud to honour the achievements and legacy of our Founding UK Director, Jane Lewis, as she heads into a very well-deserved retirement at the end of June.
As Founding UK Director, Jane established CEI’s footprint in the UK and Europe and managed considerable growth in our team and project portfolio.
Jane’s career has been dedicated to improving services and support for children and families.
At CEI, she has focused on improving policies and services across early years, school inclusion, education, youth justice, youth employment and children’s social care, with particular expertise in scaling and in place-based change. Her expertise spans evidence synthesis, evaluation, research dissemination and implementation science, and she has made significant contributions across these fields.
Jane’s tireless efforts as an advocate for quality implementation of good evidence, across the social services, will continue to make a huge difference for the community for years to come.
Jane would like to thank the CEI team and all our partners for their commitment and energy – which makes change possible.
We wish Jane all the very best in her new, more relaxed chapter of life.
In the UK, the CEI team continues to create impact through collaboration with What Works centres (including Foundations, Youth Endowment Fund, Youth Futures Foundation and Education Endowment Foundation), and with research peers, government and NGOs partners
