ENTRUST-PE : Enhancing Trust in Pain Evidence
Funder: ERA-NET NEURON Cofund 2
Duration: September 2023 - August 2024

The personal, social and economic burden of chronic pain is enormous. Yet patients with chronic pain, clinicians and the public are often poorly served by an evidence architecture that contains multiple structural weaknesses which reduce confidence in treatment practice. Weaknesses include incomplete research governance, inadequate stakeholder engagement, poor methodological rigour and incomplete reporting, a lack of data accessibility and transparency, and a failure to communicate findings with appropriate balance (without spin). These issues span pre-clinical research, clinical trials, systematic reviews and impact on the development of clinical guidance and practice update. Research misconduct presents a further critical risk. Combined, these weaknesses serve to increase uncertainty in this highly challenging area of study and practice, drive the provision of low value care, increase costs and impede the discovery of more effective solutions. The central objective of our proposed network is to develop ENTRUST-PE, a novel integrated framework for enhancing and facilitating the trustworthiness of evidence for chronic pain. This will involve identifying and synthesising a range of available resources into a common framework that supports researchers, editors and publishers to minimise threats to the trustworthiness of pain research.

The potential of Froebelian philosophy to support and engage low-income families in the early years
Funder: The Froebel Trust
Duration: March 2023 - May 2024

This project aims to work with low-income families (with annual income of less than £10,000) from diverse ethnic backgrounds in early years settings run by HomeStart (a UK charity) to explore the potential of Froebelian philosophy to support and engage such families in ways that matter to them. Focusing on play, the project will address the following objectives: 1. To understand the significance and relevance of play in the daily lives of low-income families. 2. To understand the key challenges facing these families and examine the way play opportunities can be improved for them. 3. To build on and develop Froebelian ideas to consider how they could become more relevant and meaningful. 4. To inform policy by mobilising more inclusive iterations of Froebelian pedagogies as an instrument for multidimensional social justice.
