Research

The Relate Institute is currently engaged in a number of research projects including evaluative studies of outcomes for service users of Relate.  Research of this kind is vital in building up the evidence base of the effectiveness of the services that are provided by Relate.

In addition to the evaluation studies of Relate services, The Relate Institute promotes and supports the research undertaken by its own masters level students which is based on the clinical work they are engaged in whilst on placement.  The Relate Institute also welcomes research proposals from researchers outside of Relate who wish to conduct research that might involve Relate clients and staff.  Researches who wish to be involved with Relate in this way are able to obtain further information and guidelines on how to gain ethical approval by contacting Nick Turner, the Director of The Relate Institute at nick.turner@relate.org.uk.
