Our skills in research

Baseline data

Before starting upon a new initiative, some background research may be needed to establish a baseline or determine the potential need amongst the intended target group. We offer a wide variety of survey techniques and advice as to their suitability in specific situations.

Pilot studies

A pilot programme is often useful. You may need to check the viability of your idea or provide evidence to support an application for additional resources. We can -

  • help plan the programme
  • advise on the experimental design
  • undertake the fieldwork
  • analyse the data

Reviews

You may need a review of the technical background to a particular issue. We can -

  • research and collate the information
  • draft the document and, if required,
  • Organise layout design and artwork

Our recent work

Our recent work includes -

School Travel Plans - a qualitative review

The key purpose of the review is to explore how integral the travel plan is to the ethos of schools. It is being undertaken sympathetically and supportively with a view to enhancing the service already provided by the Council to schools.

Motorcycle Action Plan

Motorcycle KSI casualties represent 19% of all KSI casualties but only about 1% of road traffic. We are working with two local authorities to develop their Motorcycle Action Plan, an integral part of the second LTP.

 




 

Alcohol ignition interlocks

We were part of a consortium, led by the Traffic Injury Research Foundation of Canada, undertaking a DfT-funded research project on alcohol ignition interlocks. This project ended in Summer 2007.

 
 

16+ accessibility to education

The Buckinghamshire Lifelong Learning Partnership wanted to study the transport needs of students aged 16+. Focus groups were run to determine the key issues from which a questionnaire was devised. An initial survey was conducted with all 16 year olds in the County to determine if transport was a factor for students when making choices about further education opportunities. In Spring 2006, the same students were surveyed again about their actual experiences of post-16 education travel.
