emergent trends offered potential recommendations such as mandatory training
on co-production, even greater employment of recovery-focused language and
consideration of how RCs operate within (or without) their hosts.
As the evaluation would have been NI-specific, the primary investigation of
these areas would hopefully have been useful in the local context for informing
service improvement and delivery.
It is hoped that at some stage this project can be undertaken as planned. If so, it
is hoped that it would be submitted for conference papers and publication, thus
adding to the wider as well as local research base into RCs.
