As part of the Pan-Sussex Diversity in Research Engagement Network (Sussex REN), SIS has helped to develop a set of materials to support organisations that are working in health and care research. These resources outline best practices for building effective and successful relationships with Community Researchers They were created via a series of collaborative workshops, led by Diversity Resource International (DRI), involving a wide spectrum of stakeholders including VCSEs, NHS, local authorities and academic institutions.
Guidelines to Work with Community Researchers: a guide for organisations and institutions working with (or looking to work with) community researchers, compiling best practices and recommendations.
Presentation Pack: a PowerPoint template for community researchers to use when presenting their work. This comes with a set of useful notes and a link to edit it online on Canva.
References and Further Reading: a list of resources for additional information and supportive documents.
Glossary: while all documents are written in plain English, we have included a glossary to clarify key terms used across them.
Flyers: promotional flyers about REN’s work.
All materials are free to use. They can be downloaded for forward distribution through this link: REN Dissemination Materials
