Communicating research findings to those who may use the research
2004 Conference
The aim of this workshop is to help participants work out how to get their messages about research across to many different service users, policy makers and providers. The workshop will consist of interactive group work, and practical exercises about information and accessibility. We will address the theme of dissemination, by considering the following questions:
1. Who needs to know about research?
2. What do they need to know?
3. How can we best communicate with them?
We will draw on several examples from our own practice, including Plain Facts, and a recent employment project that included mini-workshops with organisations of disabled people, to disseminate and discuss the research findings.
Participants in this workshop will:
a) Consider why it is important to get their message to the right people
b) Practice making information about research easier to understand.
c) Work out some practical ways to keep service users involved in the research cycle
