Summary
This guide aims to support staff in working with students as partners for research or educational enhancement projects. It briefly introduces the concept and some ways of understanding students-as-partners work and how this might manifest in practical terms. To do this, the guide provides support on setting up your own partnership project and opportunities to explore case studies of practice from existing small and large-scale student partnership initiatives.
We also explore some key considerations for starting student partnership work to help you decide how best to ensure the success of your project. The guide will offer an understanding of the roles of both the student and the staff partner and a step-by-step example of how you might begin your student-staff partnership project work.
