Research

Building an evidence base for inclusive education and excellence in health and social care.

Our approach

Research with lived experience at its heart

Ongoing research and professional development are central to UKC-SUCI's work. We support staff to practise scholarly inquiry and share research, so that service user and carer involvement is grounded in evidence.

Our vision is an evidence base for inclusive education and excellence, with publications and case studies highlighting our impact across UK higher education.
