Research

In 2022 we identified four Strategic Objectives, one is to Maintain our Specialism in supporting children and young people with higher levels of need in education and another objective is to Contribute on a wider scale to the education and support of physically disabled young people.

Encouraging staff to undertake research as part of their ongoing professional development at Treloar’s demonstrates our commitment to meeting those strategic objectives.

If you are interested in carrying out academic research at Treloar’s, please contact Annette Danaher at research@treloar.org.uk.
