Trauma-Informed Research and Evaluation

Next Open Session
Date: 19th October 2026
Time: 09:30am–14:30pm 
Price: £95 per person

Research and evaluation have the potential to generate meaningful change, but they can also unintentionally reproduce power imbalances, exclusion, and harm if participants’ experiences, wellbeing, and expertise are not meaningfully considered throughout the process.

This session explores how trauma-informed principles can be embedded across the research and evaluation lifecycle, from design and recruitment through to data collection, analysis, and dissemination.

Drawing on research, published work, and practical experience, participants will explore how to create research and evaluation processes that are ethical, participatory, and grounded in lived experience.

Topics include:

• Principles of trauma-informed research and evaluation
• Working with vulnerable and marginalised participants
• Designing safe and meaningful participation opportunities
• Co-production and lived experience involvement
• Creative and participatory research methods
• Researcher wellbeing and reflective practice
• Ethical dissemination and knowledge mobilisation
• Moving beyond extraction towards meaningful engagement
