This storyboard (animated video) aims to explain what action research is and how it can help to improve public services.  It uses the example of Cedar (Children experiencing domestic abuse recovery) to talk through how action research can be useful and offers some hints and tips for those thinking about undertaking action research themselves. 

The storyboard was written and narrated by Cathy Sharp (Research for Real) with support from IRISS.  Animation by graham@ogilviedesign.co.uk

The transcript for this storyboard is available and the issues in this storyboard are explored further in an article by Cathy Sharp from Research for Real. Further information and resources are available about:
