The Scholarship of Engagement for Politics • How does the reflection of academia translate into action on the part of community institutions within the CBR partnership? • The question of centralisation of the initiative within the university was raised. Would this enhance the recruitment, project potential (multidisciplinary) and efficiency of the initiative? • Is there scope for a multi-organisational approach? • Regarding the Neighbourhood Policing Project, is there scope to extend the involvement in the police–public consultation process to create an analysis of public survey results across many neighbourhoods in Oxford? And will Brookes and the Thames Valley Police be able to work together to recommend an improved means of delivering public consultation? • Where will the publication of these and future projects take place and who will they be accessible to? Where next? Addressing the reflections and queries listed above is an appropriate means of gauging our progress and contemplating how we aim to move forward with the initiative. Many of these considerations were also our own, and it was interesting to hear people, unfamiliar with the CBR initiative prior to the conference, asking the same questions. All of the queries raised were pressing issues that need to form a part of our pilotyear review. One of the hardest questions to answer after running the pilot was whether this initiative acts in any form on community life as it is lived for citizens and does it impinge on social deprivation? We believe that involving a public resource such as a university in as many ways as possible in local communities is a valuable use of resources. The CBR initiative at Brookes is just one of the ways we can be involved and provide a resource/service through mutually beneficial partnership with community organisations. In this year’s pilot schemes, for example, the 220
The Community-Based Research Initiative at Oxford Brookes University Neighbourhood Policing Project has meant students and staff have input ideas that may facilitate greater participation in police consultations in the future. These ideas will need to be piloted, and we hope that Brookes will be involved in this. The local community has been aware of our involvement with the police, and the feedback from residents has been positive. Some local residents from the area in which we undertook our study with the police attended the conference. For the pilot projects to have a more significant impact, it is clear that the research partnerships we create will have to become longitudinal and sustainable. This is a community engagement principle that occurs time after time in the literature surrounding CBR. For those who attended the conference that did not have academic or social research backgrounds it was also an important issue and one of the main queries raised in the discussions. It is clear in our project plans for next year that we aim to expand the CBR centre in SS&L, but we also plan to work with the RBL and the police once more. We have made these projects our priority as we need to consolidate our partnerships as part of our commitment to sustainability. How do we and our partners act on the findings from the research? This again is a question of ongoing and sustainable partnerships. The research may vary in the amount of action that can be taken on the part of the organisation or by the university, but the university will aim to remain involved wherever possible. Following the current project work this will be assisting with alternative means of consultation with the police in the future. Further inquiry into the extent of ex-service personnel homelessness in rural Oxfordshire will feature in future project work in our partnership with the RBL. Due to the university’s proximity as a major institution within the city we have the potential to enrich CBR research projects through creating a community research network. This enriches the experience for students and widens the potential of small, stand-alone research projects. For example, to broaden our research partnership with the RBL we are planning to involve Oxfordshire Nightshelters in the homelessness study 221
