CDC launches research gathering exercise

As part of our  strategic partner grant CDC is responsible for identifying evidence on what does and doesn't work in terms of support for disabled young people.  This information will be used to inform policy and practice development and planning. 

In September 2011 CDC formed a research working group to take this work forward. The group is particularly keen on evidence from organisations on research relating to disabled children and young people on any of these two key themes:

  • Cost effective practice - evidence of impact
  • Measuring outcomes for children and young people with a range of needs

The working group will use this information to map what research is already available.  We will then identify gaps and advise the Department for Education on any future research to commission.

At this link you can find a research gathering template. Please use this form to tell us about any relevant research that your organisation has taken part in or that you are aware of.   Please return this form to jcrangle@ncb.org.uk by Thursday 1st March.
