We are often asked to carry out research and consultation exercises with local residents, communities of interest and hard to reach groups. We have developed an expertise into conducting investigative research and are consequently often asked to carry out research with groups who are otherwise hidden and unknown or on associated topics. Examples of these are migrant workers and sex workers.
We have recently completed a consultation for Safe Newcastle about how crime and community safety issues affect different groups, including people with physical disabilities and mental health problems, carers, BME groups, adults who face chronic exclusion, young people in transition to adulthood who face exclusion, migrant communities and Islamic faith groups.
