What works in United Kingdom

The UK has implemented several evidence-based interventions across employment equality, criminal justice, digital inclusion, and criminal rehabilitation. Mandatory gender pay gap reporting requires over 10,700 employers with 250+ staff to publish annual data, corresponding with the OECD median gender wage gap falling from 16.8% to 13.3% between 2016–2023 (−3.5 pp). Scotland's Domestic Abuse Act 2018 criminalised coercive control with 93% of charges proceeding to court and conviction rates of 84–91%, while Digital Lifelines Scotland distributed 3,044 devices and 3,845 connectivity packages to 5,502 people affected by drug use and homelessness. Coracle Inside provides secure in-cell learning to ~96 English and Welsh prisons, with an independent 2025 evaluation estimating £16 of social and economic value per £1 spent, though the practices do not collectively quantify cross-sector outcomes for the UK as a whole.
