Next Steps
In addition to finalising work in Wick, the Project Team is developing a final set of reports and is planning post-project activities. The Project Steering Group, which next meets on 18th March, will be guiding these activities, with report outlines being presented for review and endorsement at the meeting on 18th March.
Key project products include:
• A full report for the Project as a whole aimed at the research community, police practitioners and policy-making audiences. A future meeting of the Joint Research and Evidence Forum will consider the contents of this report as part of identifying and clarifying specific research questions to take forward alongside other priority areas;
• An accompanying easy-read infographic-based report aimed at the wider community;
• A practitioner toolkit, aimed at audiences in local policing, and co-produced with participating local policing teams; and
• An internal post-Project lessons learned report, based on ongoing reflective practice throughout the life of the Project, and comments received by local and national stakeholders and community groups.
The Project Team will also be identifying opportunities to share knowledge, experiencing and findings more widely, via relevant knowledge exchange events, to maximise awareness and impact.
Finally, the Project Team also intends to check-in with local stakeholders and community partners in each of the four communities approximately one year after fieldwork closure in each area, to observe the Project’s legacy and capture additional reflections and learning.
