Putting children, young people and families at the centre of innovation and design
Putting children, young people and families at the centre of innovation and design
We use creative and participatory approaches that give children and young people a voice and provide them with the tools to express their ideas, thoughts and feelings.
From our innovation and design research we will provide you with clear design guidelines and principles based on the real needs and challenges of children, young people and families from the context of their everyday lives.

Investigative Perspectives
We are influenced by our environment and the people in it. We run research with; Parents and Carers; Educators and Coaches and our Expert network of Psychologists and Academics to give a holistic picture.
Understand drivers of behaviour change
Behaviour is not logical. It is influenced by emotions, feelings and biases. Using psychology and behaviour change theory, we uncover the environmental factors and the sub-conscious thoughts and feelings that drive behaviours.
Represent diverse voices
Our enhanced recruitment methods and inclusive approaches means we can engage children and young people from different socio-economic groups, ethnic backgrounds, disabilities, neurodiversity, sexuality and gender identity.
Support action for change
Having access to new knowledge and insights is exciting but it can also be overwhelming, knowing how and where to start taking to action for positive change. We will support you through the next steps to extract the most relevant insights, prioritise and build strategies for change

Our Approach
to Research
Platypus provides face to face, digital, qualitative and quantitative research.
Our approaches are customised to each project and designed around the development stage and situations of the young people and families we are researching.
We treat every project with a duty of care and responsibility, no matter how small- as the biggest changes often begin from the smallest of actions.
