At Research Scotland we provide high quality, practical, social research and support to public and third sector organisations. We work with a wide range of clients operating in the public and third sectors. We often carry out large-scale research projects but we are equally enthusiastic about working on projects that are smaller scale. It is important to us that we build strong, trusting relationships with our clients.
New research project
We are currently working with Close the Gap - which explores women's equality at work - to understand women's experiences of being healthy and safe at work in Scotland. Ann and Katy are doing this research, involving hearing from 30 women across Scotland. We are particularly interested in hearing from women on low incomes, disabled women, women with health conditions and racially minoritised women.
