Evidence Based Research
Evaluation and research is embedded in all aspects of our work with young people. Over the years, we have partnered with researchers from the Lincoln Academy of Learning and Teaching (LALT), the Eleanor Glanville Institute (EGI) both at the University of Lincoln and the Lincolnshire Open Research & Innovation Centre (LORIC) at Bishop Grosseteste University to develop and conduct research and evaluation for our project. This includes particular emphasis on impact evaluation, widening participation, student engagement and identifying barriers particular for underrepresented groups.
