Change Projects which have now been completed 

Change Projects are one of a range of methods used by research in practice to help our Partner agencies working with children and families to become more evidence-informed. A small group of people from research in practice Partner agencies join forces over a period of several months to investigate together new ways of working. During this collaborative enquiry participants test and record their learning so that others may benefit from their successes – and mishaps. The product is a handbook of practical guidance, exercises and ideas accompanied by audio-visual materials (one or more films or an audio CD) or interactive learning tools.
