Making Research Count

How to join

Making Research Count is keen to attract more partners within the social work, social care and health sectors. It is a subscription based partnership, with an annual subscription which provides access to a number of events in one of the nine regions served.

Membership is open to local authorities, health agencies and private and voluntary agencies. Each subscribing authority links with one of the participating universities, normally the nearest geographically.
For general information about membership, please contact the national coordinator, Sue Bailey.
