The Greater Manchester Respectful Research Charter challenges us to think differently about research, knowledge and power. Our Learning for Change programme (delivered by Collaborate Out Loud) has shown that when communities, researchers and organisations come together as partners, new possibilities emerge. Trust grows. Confidence grows. Better research becomes possible. Most importantly, communities move from being participants in research to becoming active partners in shaping it.
