What
we do
CRFR produces, stimulates and disseminates high quality social research
and commentary
on families and relationships.
Research
CRFR undertakes social research on families and relationships across
the lifecourse using both
qualitative and quantitative approaches. Our research programmes
encompass diverse themes
and inform policy, practice and debate in Scotland, the UK and internationally.
Our research
programme is collaborative and inclusive, producing high-quality
cutting edge research relevant
to Scotland today.
CRFR research is grouped around five evolving themes:
• Changing
families, changing relationships
• Health,
families, well-being, and relationships
• Growing
older and caring relationships
• Children
and young people
• Families,
policies, evidence and practice
Collaboration
CRFR generates and builds on partnerships across and within the
statutory, voluntary,
private and academic sectors.
Partners can work with us to:
• disseminate research findings
• develop a joint research project or jointly funded ERSC
CASE Studentship
• develop research ideas through events, such as seminars
or workshops
Using research

a research briefing series, a regularly updated website and newsletters.
We also respond
