Evidence snapshot for United Kingdom

The United Kingdom has implemented several evidence-backed interventions across social policy, criminal justice, and digital inclusion. Gender pay gap reporting since 2017 has reached over 10,700 employers, with the OECD median gender wage gap falling from 16.8% to 13.3% between 2016 and 2023. Scotland's 2018 Domestic Abuse Act achieved 93% of charges proceeding to court with conviction rates of 84–91%. Coracle Inside digital learning in UK prisons has reached approximately 96 prisons, generating an estimated £16 of social and economic value per £1 spent, with roughly 1,200 ex-prisoners helped into work within six months of release. These practices demonstrate measurable outcomes in gender equity, criminal justice accountability, and prisoner rehabilitation, though they cover specific sectors rather than the UK as a whole.
