Our second seminar in Newcastle - what were we trying to achieve?

In November 2015, we held the second in this series of six seminars in Newcastle. The seminar programme provides more details about the structure of the seminar over the two days and Jeremy Parr’s introduction slides explains what we set out to achieve. 

This is a great resource for guidance on community engagement - do you think we’ve lived up to this standard?

A new way to share seminar outputs…

The Shaping Autism Research seminar series aims to set a new collaborative direction for the future of autism research in the UK, incorporating the perspectives of researchers, practitioners, autistic people and their families on equal terms. One way to set out on this collaborative pathway is to ensure that outputs from the seminar series are not developed only by the organising group but are shared with the community during the draft phase.

To this end we will be sharing on this site drafts of each of the proposed main seminar outputs, as .doc files, and inviting commentators to send us their feedback by posting in the comment box for each document post or using Google Docs to share comments. As each seminar in the series takes place, and the information and discussions are captured, these documents will be updated and new drafts will be posted on this page.

We encourage you all to read the comments on these documents so that we can produce outputs which can become useful tools to shape autism research of the future.

Stakeholder research-engagement guide

This document is the first draft of an output intended to provide guidance to stakeholders from the autism community on interaction with researchers.  It was derived from discussions at the first, Autism Practice seminar, in Edinburgh in June 2015 and we aim to share a revised version by March 2015. The next version will incorporate your feedback and discussions from the second seminar, on Public Services, which took place in Newcastle in November 2015.
