For social work academic
organisations this will be reflected
in educational provision that
instils research mindedness at
undergraduate and postgraduate
levels, through curriculum content
and course design, to engage
students in peer research and
co-production research activities.
Universities are proactive in
ensuring accessible course provision
is available to service users and
carers, to ensure that research
involves the voice of recipients of
services in meaningful way. At
post-graduate levels this includes
master's and Doctoral level research
opportunities open to social workers
and service users, some of which
are available part-time and others
on a full-time basis.
University social work departments
are keen to respond, as appropriate,
to requests to collaborate or to
tender for funding for sector wide
research and evaluation projects
that are relevant to the profession.
