Alliance (UKPHA) and the Scottish Evaluation Network. See the Links page for further information about these organisations.
Working in collaboration Clarity has been working in collaboration with associates increasingly in the last few years, in response
to a number of large scale research projects which required a team of researchers. This has been a very positive experience,
both for clients and researchers. For clients, it offers the advantages of a bigger team with a blend of skills which are
important for multi-phase, longer term and complex projects. For the researchers it is a good opportunity to learn from each
other and work in a team. Clare is happy to discuss your requirements for all projects, large or small, and can work individually
or bring in other associates, as needed.
