Knowledge Exchange

CES has a dedicated Knowledge Exchange and Communications function. The following goals have been set for our work:

Monitor: To monitor key research findings, government publications and policies, media coverage concerning children, young people, families and community (CYPFC) issues

Inform: To inform the work of CES staff and external stakeholders on latest information to improve services for CYPFC and influence policy and practice reform in areas impacting on CYPFC

Knowledge Exchange: To increase the likelihood that that research evidence will be used in policy and practice decisions and to exchange latest information with stakeholders to use in making evidence-informed decisions.

Persuade: To reinforce or change our stakeholder’s interpretation about a particular topic based on evidence

Network: To build relationships through indentifying a network of CES stakeholders in a range of external organisations

Support: To support our stakeholders on an ongoing basis to build their own knowledge and communications systems

We aim to deliver on these goals through a series of Knowledge and Communications outputs including:

• Our library
• CES Publications
• Our calendar of events and training
• CES Podcast Series
• Our newsletter
• CES E-zine
• What’s new in the field
• CES Web articles
• CES Dissemination Tools
