Making your research inclusive

It is essential that we engage with all people that make up our communities to ensure health and social care services work for everyone in our communities.

This guidance sets out how to conduct research and engagement with people that often go unheard. It sets out tips on how to build trust and understanding with hard to reach communities, ensuring that your research materials are inclusive and how to interpret and analyse information from diverse communities.

It also contains links to other pieces of guidance including examples from Healthwatch that have undertaken research with particular seldom heard groups.
