The Buckfastleigh Campus, home to the Dartington Service Design Lab, specializes in advanced social research and service design aimed at transforming public services for children and young people. Originating from the historic Dartington Social Research Unit, this location focuses on evidence-informed systemic improvements rather than traditional academic teaching, hosting multidisciplinary teams of researchers, designers, and policy experts.
Activities at this campus emphasize harnessing lived experience, cutting-edge evidence, and design thinking to foster thriving futures, supporting national projects across the UK and influencing global policy.
