Partnering with community organisations
Voluntary and community organisations play a vital role in helping us:
-
understand lived experience and community priorities
-
ask the right questions in research
-
ensure findings are relevant, accessible and impactful.
Together, we can produce more meaningful outcomes and create research that speaks to real lives.
How we work together
We collaborate in a variety of ways depending on the project’s needs and your community’s priorities. These can include:
-
Steering and advisory groups: helping shape research direction and governance
-
Project-specific engagement: input on priorities, methods and outputs
-
Community representative panels: bringing together organisations who represent specific groups (e.g. children, justice-involved people)
-
Co-designed workshops: collaborative sessions to explore key questions
-
Knowledge exchange events: bringing researchers and communities together to share perspectives and learning
