Our new Research, Evaluation and Analysis Support Network (reason) is being developed through the summer. A collaborative venture between NFER, Research in Practice (RiP) and Research in Practice for adults (RiPfA), it will be relevant to all those wanting to develop their skills and knowledge in evaluation and analysis and so demonstrate the impact and value of their work in areas such as education, children and adult social care and health. The reason website, accessed by subscription, will include guides, methods, tools and resources for self assessment and self evaluation and the network will offer opportunities for peer support and review. reason also offers the opportunity to purchase bespoke support for your evaluations and to build evaluation skills.

The reason website ‘goes live’ in April 2012. Bespoke support is available immediately. 

For further information about reason, to join, or to discuss bespoke support, please contact h.poet@nfer.ac.uk.
