Writing a briefing note, the first in a series to be published during the research project, which will be available on the Respect website in May 2010.
February 2009: minutes and report from the seminar in December 2008
Some of you attended the seminar on 9th December 2008 with Professor Edward Gondolf (also a member of the research advisory group), Susan Ash from LankellyChase Foundation (one of our key funders and a member of the advisory group) and Respect staff. This lively and interesting seminar focused on collaborative research processes and included presentations from Dr Gondolf, lots of questions and discussion and a good lunch at an excellent small venue in central London (44 Portland Place for those of you wanting similar).
This seminar set an excellent tone for the research process and there were some great ideas which we are now following up. A full record of the minutes of this seminar including a summary document of action agreed and lessons learned can be downloaded by clicking on the link below.
