Volunteering
As part of our mission to connect research and practice we welcome people getting in touch with us who may want to volunteer to support our work. We particularly welcome interest from:
- Practitioners and professionals wanting to use our methods and resources in practice and / or exploring collaboration with us on research and evaluation
- Parents and families of autistic children, young people and adults seeking to contribute expertise and experiences to shaping and informing research and resources
- Students wishing to build their research experiences by volunteering as a research assistant
- Postdoctoral researchers continuing to develop their careers through research and knowledge exchange
Training
ACoRNS provides training and input for schools, colleges and other organisations, as well as on taught programmes within universities nationally and internationally. Examples include local authorities, specialist teams (e.g. speech and language, looked-after children), INSET days, school-based conferences and workshops, and contributions to taught programmes for social workers and trainee teachers.
We are also happy to discuss options for providing training or input with your team or setting on any of the work we do, including the use of creative methods for enabling the voices of children and young people and supporting research-informed approaches within practice.
