Engaging low-income families in education research

Funder: Brunel University London
Duration: February 2022 - August 2022

COVID-19 disrupted education provision around the globe. Socio-economically disadvantaged families of young children experienced exacerbated structural inequality including challenges with space and resources to continue education in the home. But recruiting these participants to share their experiences proved problematic. This pilot study aims to address this problem by listening to and understanding the needs of these participants to develop a best practice approach that can be applied to interdisciplinary social and education research.
