At the moment, CCN Cymru is not in a position to commission its own research project, and is therefore committed to working with partners to contribute to research which is being undertaken by other organisations. Below is a small archive of research which is available around key working. Of course, it has long been discussed that the piece of research which is lacking, is that of a cost effectiveness analysis. We would ask any educational authorities and/or organisations hoping to carry out such a project, to please contact us to allow us to contribute effectively.
