Resources include:

  • a recording of each event (where possible),
  • a blog on the topic,
  • a summary of the discussion,
  • the questions raised in Q&A between the panel and the audience.

Together they highlight gaps in current knowledge that could usefully be filled.

To set an agenda for educational change:

We are mindful of the differences in policy priorities across the 4 nations of the UK.Ìý
We recognise that what matters most in education right now may well vary: for
Ìýparents, families and pupils, practitioners, policymakers and researchers in different parts of the country.Ìý

In choosing our topics and our speakers we want to reflect that diversity of views and find ways of enabling more democratic and inclusive decision-making in education.Ìý
That includes finding new forms of partnership working in education that can change how research, policy and practice interact.
