5 Key Ingredients for a Great Thematic Review
Thursday 19th January 2023, 1.00-2.30pm
It doesn’t make sense to commit resource to a thematic review which reveals more of the same themes and learning. Especially in a system overburdened by large numbers of reviews.
How would it look to deliver a thematic review which provides a much needed overview? Or one which 'shines a light' or delivers a revelation. Clearly there are many gains to be had from these reviews. Thematic reviews that are lengthy, or overburdened with detailed figures and statistics, can lose the reader and far less consumable.
These reviews have the potential to strengthen and reinforce the power of sector led improvement. Yet they will also present unique challenges, especially when it comes to remaining proportionate.
There will inevitably be a sense of overwhelm at the start. More than one subject, more than one family. Alongside the need to be selective. Choosing the high level ideas, instead of every issue. It's tempting to allow the review and the final product to become unwieldy and ultimately less accessible to read.
It's time we came together to share our insights, and gather our experience of what has worked well. All in one place. For this FREE virtual training opportunity, I am joined by Kate Spreadbury, Independent Safeguarding Adults Consultant.
I am Donna Ohdedar, & I support review commissioners, participants, quality assurance professionals & reviewers to improve the quality of reviews. I want to share a live conversation I will be having with Liane where we will respond to questions from you, the live audience.
You are invited to this free live podcast workshop designed for those involved in Safeguarding Adult Reviews, Domestic Homicide Reviews & Child Safeguarding Practice Reviews.
Join us for 90 minutes of discussion plus Q & A, where we will share our thoughts & invite questions from you, the audience. Our aim is to shed light on the situations we encounter in reviews just like the ones you contribute to, read, quality assure or write.
