Social Analysis And Research Services

read moreThe natural crossroads for people who are experiencing difficulties is to seek support. A network of organisations provide a safety net for people with a range of trauma and crisis and these are often called Service Providers. These can include social services, emergency services, after care services, legal services and medical services. The people who become engaged in this network are Service Users. We aim to assist service providers and service users by bridging barriers. We work with service users as individuals and, with their full consent, convert their experiences into research tool for service providers.

By analysing your business landscape, you will be able to identify solutions. Our consultants are professional researchers who can communicate on all levels.

The research presents a qualitative exploration of the ways in which perimenopausal women construct and re-construct their health identity.

read moreQualitative, holistic methodology is the basis of our working practise and our methods are narrative in nature. This means that we listen to stories of lived experience and interpret these narrative accounts in a way that reflects the context of the personal, interpersonal and situated landscape. This involves the construction of a non-hierarchical interview situation where the power dynamic is equally balanced. The advantage of this method of data collection is that in situations such as the workplace or surgery setting, the power dynamic is complex and unequal because of professional hierarchy.
