The document discusses an organization called Research in Practice that aims to promote the use of research evidence to improve outcomes for children and families. It does this through Change Projects, which involve practitioners collaborating to develop tools to apply research findings in practice. The document describes a recent Change Project focused on re-engaging young people in learning at key stage 3. Participants were introduced to research on disengagement and will work to inform local policies and support practitioners on this issue.

- Started in 1996 with 25 members – 10 th anniversary last year. A network – part of the benefit comes from being part of this practice community and the connections it offers. Don’t do primary research. A partnership – not a service you simply purchase. Partners are expected to give as well as get. The more you give, the more you get. It’s a collaboration – we explore issues together, develop solutions to meet a particular agency’s needs. 17 FTE + Associates. Staff based in Devon and Sheffield.
- Use props List of publications sent to Los sharing ideas via the website/email groups (eg questions about policy/service development) regional meetings LOAM, DPF, Inter-professional conference

- All change projects follow the same process. Idea generation comes from within the Network, where a need has been identified - the change project is designed as a practice-focused project to address a particular issue, hence the name. At this stage a tentative timeline and budget is also thought through. Literature search is carried out by the lead on the change project. This allows the project leader to really get to grips with the issues, make sure no work is repeated and pull out the most important messages for the change project group to work with Experts Knowledge Exchange takes place to firm up direction and plan. Experts in the field that the change project is addressing will meet and discuss the findings of the literature search, the pressing practice issues and what is the best way to meet them. It’s a brainstorm, organised by the Project Lead. Then the Change Project group is formed from interested Partner Agencies. It’s facilitated by the project lead who decides with the co-facilitator (if there is one) and group about how many meetings, structures and responsibilities. The group is generally supportive of each other with the Project Lead co-ordinating meetings and work. The first tangible product to come out is the pilot action pack, worked on by all in the change project group. The action pack is then piloted in agencies who have expressed an interest in the project (sometimes agencies who wanted to be in the initial change project group, or those who wanted to be involved but could not commit the necessary time) As a result of the pilot the action pack is refined, changed and formatted into a way that will maximise learning throughout the network and beyond the messages from the change project. These are becoming increasingly multimedia based, often with CD-Roms, downloadable resources etc. It will generally be launched at a big event - for instance, the pilot Leadership Action Pack was launched at LOAM this year. Sometimes the messages will be taken further and linked in with other strands of RiP e.g. workshop on Learning Events Programme. We have just begun to use regularly updated posters to keep our partner agencies up-to-date about the progress of Change Projects and to provide info on forthcoming ones. So I’ll show you the posters and tell you a little about each Change Project.
