Our faculty provides a creative and energetic environment for undertaking research that addresses real issues across the full spectrum of health, social care and education. Research in the faculty unites academics, researchers, postgraduate students, research users and service users in a shared community of enquiry.

The faculty's reputation for undertaking high quality, meaningful and timely research continues to grow. We are committed to high standards of scholarship and research to offer our students opportunities to be taught by, and undertake research with, scholars who are at the forefront of developments in their disciplines.

Researchers within the faculty are involved in multiple collaborations with local, national and international agencies in the statutory and voluntary sectors. There are a number of international collaborations with partners for example in Israel, Ukraine, Canada, the United States of America, South Africa, Rwanda, Bulgaria and elsewhere.

Faculty researchers have also developed considerable experience and a growing reputation in the use of multiple research methods, including participatory inquiry, mixed methods and collaboration with service users. With regard to the latter we have developed considerable expertise in involving service users (especially children, young people and older people) as researchers.

• Childhood & Youth Research Institute (CYRI)
