Magenta Research has recently completed a groundbreaking research project for Ofcom and the CCP that’s set to redefine better practice in conducting research involving disabled people and people with long-term health conditions. With their invaluable amount of insight they have created a series of guidelines that have the potential to really shake up the social and market research industry and pave the way for more inclusive practices. You’ll come away from this webinar with a better understanding of how to make research more inclusive at all stages of the research process, and some practical tips to support inclusive research practices. https://lnkd.in/eygrpHPn #SocialResearch #EDI #Research #health

SRA BLOG: Term time working - could this work for you? When the school holidays started in July, Lee Chan, MMRS, Insight Lead at the government agency UKHSA, shared on LinkedIn that she had moved to a flexible work arrangement called term-time working. At the time of drafting this blog, there had been 6,700 impressions of her post and her network of insight and research professionals left positive comments encouraging Lee to report back how it had gone. This blog is a reflection of the recent six week break rather than a thorough evaluation. We hope that this blog is helpful to those of you who may wish to ask for a similar arrangement and that it can be shared with HR Depts and line managers as a case study.   https://lnkd.in/eZM3FtP7 #FlexibleWorking #SocialResearch #SRABlog #Research
