Principal Investigators are expected to consult with co-investigators on the content of this report. Grant Reference: ES/J010413/1 Investigator/s: Project Title: Dr Daniela Sime, Senior Lecturer, University of Strathclyde Supporting Eastern European migrant families through effective service delivery: A knowledge exchange programme Description Please include a short overview of the projects impacts (max 2000 characters with spaces). This report details the impact and outcomes achieved a year after the completion of the above Follow On, knowledge exchange grant. The grant funded a programme carried out between March June 2013 of capacity-building and user engagement activities, aimed at addressing the knowledge needs in relation to service provision for newly arrived migrant families. It brought together policy makers, service managers, practitioners and migrant families in activities such as research-based seminars, workshops, presentations at conferences and for specialist organisations (including local and national government), a national conference and events for the general public. Outputs consisted of a Toolkit for service providers working with migrant families, a Guide for migrant parents on education and other services in Scotland, as well as a research summary for policy makers and young people s report (see An exhibition entitled At home abroad: Children s exhibition on migration was on show at the School Museum in Glasgow, attracting over 10,000 visitors. Between June 2013 June 2014, the project team have continued dissemination and impact. Scientific impact was mainly ensured through dissemination of research on migrant children s experiences in the first research grant and dissemination of materials produced as part of the follow on grant. A range of practitioners, teachers, social workers, health visitors, local service managers and students have continued to engage with the research and the outputs and advance their professional understanding of migrant children s needs and their capacity to deliver services 1

2 and conduct research with migrant groups. The research has continued to lead to publications on migrant children s experiences. The KE project has generated new knowledge on the processes of securing impact of research and we will disseminate this further. In terms of economic and societal impacts, we have continued to inform service delivery, through events for service providers and policy makers. 2

3 1. Scientific impact A Please summarise below the scientific impact(s) your project has had. [Max 2000 Characters with spaces] This was a knowledge exchange programme, and as a result, the scientific impacts were mainly concerned with the effectiveness of the processes of facilitating knowledge transfer and the sharing of evidence-based practice. By bringing together practitioners, policy makers and service users, we have consolidated and extended findings from our earlier research grant on migrant children s needs and have extended the capacity at local and national levels of providing inclusive policies and effective practice. Academics and practitioners also had opportunities to engage in debates on current issues and approaches to provision of services through the seminars and workshops we have organised or contributed to, as detailed below. B Please outline the findings and outputs from your project which have had the scientific impact(s) outlined in 1A. [Max 2000 Characters with spaces] The main findings related to this grant concerned the processes of knowledge transfer and knowledge appropriation by service providers and policy makers engaged in the events organised. Outputs were mainly in the form of academic publications, some emerging from the initial research on migrant children s experiences (Grant no ) and one article in progress on the experiences of knowledge transfer and appropriation. These have included: Sime, D. (under review) I think that Polish doctors are better : Newly arrived migrant children s experiences and views of health services in the UK, Health & Place. Sime, D.; Pietka-Nykaza, E. (under review) Transnational intergenerationalities: Cultural learning in Polish migrant families and its implications for children s inclusion, Language and Intercultural Communication (LAIC) Sime, D. (2014) Ethical and methodological issues in conducting research with Eastern European children and young people, in Skelton, T. (ed.) Geographies of Children and Young People, vol. 2, Springer. Sime, D. and Fox, R. (2014) Migrant children, social capital and access to services postmigration: Transitions, negotiations and complex agencies, Children & Society. Sime, D. and Fox, R. (2014) Home Abroad: Eastern European children s family and peer relationships after migration, Childhood. In addition, the outputs produced during the funding period (June 2013-June 2014) have continued to be downloaded and accessed via the project website. These have included the research report, a toolkit for service providers working with migrant groups, a guide for migrant parents on services in Scotland, a summary research report and a young people s poster/report. 3

4 C Please outline how these impacts were achieved. [Max 2000 Characters with spaces] The scientific impact has been achieved through publications in academic journals, presentation at academic conferences and input in dissemination events aimed at academics. Academic presentations have included: Keynote at Early Years Education Research Conference, Glasgow, 7 th Sept 2013; Presentation at Engage with Strathclyde event, 28 April 2014; Presentation at Marie Curie Changing Employment ITN, Changing Places and Faces of Work and Migration in an era of Globalised Commodity Chains, 16 th June 2014; Presentation at Migration and intimate life, ESRC-funded seminar, organised at the University of Glasgow, 18 th June D Please outline who the findings and outputs outlined above had an impact upon. This can include specific academics/researchers through to broader academic groups. [Max 2000 Characters with spaces] The outputs above have mainly been targeted at academics with an interest in migration, children and young people s well-being, ethnicity and citizenship, knowledge exchange processes. 4

5 2. Economic and societal impact A Please summarise below the economic and societal impact(s) your project has had. [Max 2000 Characters with spaces] Economic impacts Although we cannot report measureable economic impacts, we think that by continuing to disseminate the research and materials available for practitioners and policy makers, the project has led to an overall better understanding of the needs of the migrant families and improved service delivery and multi-agency collaboration. We also hope that by informing policy makers and service managers on migrant families needs, the project has contributed to increased evidence-based practice and more inclusive policies nationally and regionally. Societal impacts We think the main societal impacts we have facilitated are in terms of practitioners, service managers and policy makers better understanding of the needs of migrant children and their families and reflection on their practice. A range of organisations and audiences from almost all local authorities in Scotland have benefited from engagement in the programme activities. We have also continued to raise awareness of the needs of migrant children through the media and events for the general public, to contribute to the ongoing debates on national identity and multiculturalism. B Please outline the findings and outputs from your project which have had the economic and societal impact(s) outlined in 2A. [Max 2000 Characters with spaces] As this was a knowledge exchange programme based on previous research, the findings emerging have mainly been related to process of knowledge exchange and knowledge appropriation by services and policy makers- we aim to reflect on these in a future academic publication. The outputs produced in 2013 consisted of a Toolkit for service providers working with migrant families, a Guide for migrant parents on education and other services, a research summary as well as a young people s report (see and we have continued to disseminate these throughout the last year, in order to benefit services throughout the country. The website continues to be accessed by between new visitors monthly, with a total of 3,000 visitors in the last year. The resources have been downloaded more than 1,000 times each in the last year (June 2013-June 2014). 5

6 C Please outline how these impacts were achieved. [Max 2000 Characters with spaces] The PI has given presentations and talks by invitation for the following organisations and groups: Keynote at Early Years Education Research Conference, Glasgow, 7 th Sept 2013, conference attended by over 100+ early years practitioners and service managers, in addition to academics and researchers; Glasgow City Council (Event for EAL teachers, 40+ practitioners and service managers in attendance), 17 th February 2014; Edinburgh City Council (Event for EAL teachers, 30+ practitioners), 21 st October 2013; Renfrewshire Council (event for Additional Support Needs teachers, 22 nd May 2014), Engage with Strathclyde event for external organisations to engage with research at the University of Strathclyde- event attended by 20+ practitioners/service managers (28 April 2014); Glasgow s Child Poverty Strategy Group, ongoing membership; Daisy Chain project advisory group- working with disadvantaged migrants in Govanhill- ongoing memberships; Sky News, Herald, BBC- requests for information on migrant children and research; Presentation to a Romanian delegation of service managers (40+ managers)- 19 th July 2013; Polish diaspora parents meetings in Glasgow 6 th October 2013; Lectures to PGDE and BEd students at the University of Strathclyde on Working with migrant children and Equality and social justice in education- ongoing throughout the year, over 1000 students reached. These events have disseminated findings on the research completed and outputs from the Follow on grant and have encouraged participants to use the outputs available free on the project website which remains active and is regularly updated. D Please outline who the findings and outputs outlined above had an impact upon. This can be at a broad societal level through to specific individuals or groups. [Max 2000 Characters with spaces] A range of organisations and audiences from local authorities in Scotland have benefited from engagement in events we have presented at or organised in the last year. These have included: Policy makers who took part in events or were members of the Boards where 6

7 presentations on the Outputs were made and materials were distributed; Practitioners from education, health, social work, leisure, voluntary sector, who had opportunities to become familiar with the materials produced and share good practice; in total, 300+ practitioners from all over Scotland were reached in the last year through face-to-face activities and many more have accessed the website; Dr Sime has also presented to over 1,000 student teachers on the PGDE/BEd programmes at the University of Strathclyde, helping thus to contribute to future teachers and early years practitioners readiness to support migrant children in their future workplace. The main organisations benefiting from the project activities have included several local authorities through their education, leisure and social work services (Glasgow City Council, Edinburgh City Council, Renfrewshire Council), voluntary sector organisations working with migrant groups and trainee teachers on teaching courses at the University of Strathclyde. 7

8 3. Unexpected and potential future impacts A Unexpected Impacts Please note which, if any, of the impacts that your research has had were unexpected at the outset of the project, explaining where possible why you think this was the case. [Max 2000 Characters with spaces] Not applicable B Potential Future Impacts If you have a clear idea of the impact your project is likely to have in the future please detail these below. [Max 2000 Characters with spaces] There remains potential for other organisations to explore the findings from the research and make use of the outputs in terms of relevance for their organisations. There is still an interest in, and potential for, exploring the wider applicability of the research findings and scope to contribute further knowledge through applications for research funding and reflections on the knowledge transfer processes. We are currently planning to combine this learning about research use with learning from a previous project on knowledge exchange processes (ESRC grant no. RES ) to produce a publication on conducive environments to research and knowledge appropriation. We will also continue to respond to requests for contributions to events, training activities and delivery of information on the project outputs, as these occur. We have secured a small grant to continue dissemination through an event organised as part of the ESRC s Festival of Social Sciences in November We will also explore the potential for further applications for funding on research and knowledge exchange activities through Horizon Impact limitations A Limited scientific impact Please state below any major scientific difficulties that have limited the scientific impact of your project. The statement should refer to an effect on impact rather than simply detail research difficulties or other project activity problems. [Max 2000 Characters with spaces] No scientific difficulties to report 8

9 B Limited economic and societal impact ESRC recognises that some of the research it funds will not have an economic or societal impact in the short term. Please explain briefly below if this is the case for your project, and refer to your grant application where relevant. [Max 2000 Characters with spaces] Not applicable 9
