Learnings

HAIRE's tools work best when knowledge and understanding is generated together. Communities can respond to needs identified by Guided Conversations by gathering together to discuss what was learnt. Individuals that conducted Guided Conversations should meet and discuss what they heard and how that linked to any original aims. Where possible, co-ordinators, e.g. health and social care service providers, local authority workers, social workers and/or activity organisers, should participate in discussions with the individuals that conducted Guided Conversations and, where relevant, HAIRE's other tools. Such meetings provide opportunities to reflect on how support can be improved to align with real life experiences. Five key questions can guide these meetings:

  • What common issues were encountered?
  • How can we respond to the common issues?
  • Was anything surprising heard?
  • How can we learn more about / better understand the surprising things that were heard?
  • How can we connect individuals that can help each other - including for sharing ideas?
