Practitioner-led research (PLR)
Our PLR programme provides funding to practitioners within CWDC's footprint to carry out their own small-scale research projects, helping us learn more about the experience of workers and children and young people using the services.
Taking part in the PLR programme is an opportunity to explore, describe, evaluate and report on ways in which services are currently being delivered within the children's workforce. Each practitioner designs their own research and sets their own question to explore and no previous experience of research is required!
The reports produced are shared throughout CWDC and the wider workforce and used to improve ways of working, recognise success and provide examples of good practice.
