CUREE has been commissioned to produce the Practitioner Led Research (PLR) good practice guide for CWDC. This is an interesting development for CUREE as the research has been generated from a wide-range of practitioners including youth workers, educational psychologists, social workers and early years professionals to name a few within the CWDC footprint. The CWDC scheme is now in its fourth year and 250 reports have been produced. The good practice guide aims to provide future PLR applicants with guidance on how to produce high quality practitioner research by defining and demonstrating what makes a successful PLR project by building on these projects but also utilising CUREE’s deep understanding of PLR evidence base and our experience of producing guidance for teachers . By developing an assessment framework to assess the quality of the research previously carried out, CUREE and CWDC will be able to apply this to current practice and determine what creates the success indicators for PLR, enabling this knowledge to passed on to all practitioners and enable them to produce their own high quality research.
