Research informs practice decision-making about reach, efficacy and the wellbeing of the organisations in which this takes place. Critical research is also foundational for advocacy and social change. In this unit you will design a research project, focussing on the research proposal. In the subsequent research unit, SWN020, you will build on this learning and carry out a research project using one of three methodologies: systematic literature review; critical reflection; or critical discourse analysis.
