Systemic Intervention for Community OR: Developing Services with Young People (Under 16) Living on the Streets

  • Chapter
Community Operational Research

Part of the book series: Contemporary Systems Thinking ((CST))

Abstract

For ten years, researchers in the Centre for Systems Studies at the University of Hull (where all the authors of this chapter were based until relatively recently1) have been participating in an on-going research programme to explore the value of using systemic intervention in Community OR. Approximately thirty Community OR projects conducted by Centre staff have been a part of this research programme. We have therefore been able to evolve our practice in the light of methodological learning and simultaneously we have developed our methodology through reflections on practice.
