Recordings of webinars and helpful guidelines have been provided in accessible and user friendly formats below.
Ethical Guidance
Doing Research Inclusively: Guidance on Ethical Issues in Co-production was launched in October 2024. It addresses ethical issues in co-production research with people with disability in the university context in Australia.
It focuses on issues faced by academic researchers when they apply for ethics approval for a co-produced research project, and by ethics committees who review and approve applications. You can watch a recording of the launch of these new guidelines below.
Co-Production in Action
Doing Research Inclusively: Co-Production in Action, released in May 2022, builds on our previous guidelines (below) and provides practical strategies for every step of the co-design process in research. Drawing on a comprehensive review of contemporary evidence in co-production, it complements our previous guidelines to focus on applying co-production in all phases of research. You can watch a recording of the launch of our new guidelines below.
Speakers in this session include:
- Professor Karen Fisher, UNSW Social Policy Research Centre
- Professors Leanne Dowse and Iva Strnadová, the authors of the Guidelines
A transcript of the video is available here.
Co-Producing Research with People with Disability
Doing Research Inclusively: Guidelines for Co-Producing Research with People with Disability sets out key benefits, principles and strategies that underpin the UNSW Disability Innovation Institute approach to co-producing research with people with disability. The content is drawn from a comprehensive review of the literature, the experience of leading inclusive researchers at UNSW, and Institutes community partner organisations of people with disability.
