Research for practice:

• must search for understanding - so called 'common sense' is insufficient as a base for practice;
• must examine assumptions that are taken for granted;
• must look for contrary evidence;
• demands the promotion of ideas to influence policy and practice;
• should involve people who might be seen as research subjects, as partners in the project;
• must highlight good practice as well as bad, put forward solutions as well as problems.

ESR undertakes:

• Policy analysis and development
• Consultancy
