Graham Research

I am a senior social researcher, with 24 years’ experience of planning and conducting research and evaluation, mainly using qualitative, creative and mixed methodologies.

All my work is in the not-for-profit sector and covers welfare, disability, education, care, mental health and services addressing inequalities and barriers. Most is related to the needs and experiences of children, young people and their families and disadvantaged and less often heard groups.

I regularly train and support others to undertake their own research and evaluation, including participative and peer research.

Prior to undertaking my Masters in Research, I worked for over 20 years in UK  social policy, welfare advice and healthcare. This laid the foundations for my research interests.

My approach is agile, responsive, collaborative and inclusive and underpinned by high ethical and quality standards

Testimonials

“Thanks Berni and huge thanks for your contribution to this work. Be assured we will do all we can to take it forward and move the emphasis from crisis response to early intervention. The evaluation report is critical for this.”
