CDERP Practice Network
Closer to the research. Connected to the conversation.
The CDERP Practice Network connects practitioners, researchers, organisations and others committed to improving employment and workforce participation.
Supporters gain access to independent research, private briefings and practical resources, alongside opportunities to contribute their experience and insights to emerging inquiries.
The Network also provides preferred access to CDERP learning and events, creating an ongoing connection between research, professional practice and system improvement.
Participation
What the Network offers.
Contribute to research
Supporters can share practice examples, identify emerging issues, comment on selected research and participate in appropriate research activities.
Experience from practice reaches CDERP’s research through the Network. Participation in specific projects is by invitation.
CDERP retains independence over research methods, conclusions and publication decisions.
Private research briefings
Supporters have access to quarterly online research briefings and discussions, together with additional briefings associated with significant publications.
Briefings examine emerging findings, new publications, policy developments and their implications for practice and employment systems.
Research and implementation resources
Supporters can access designated full research papers, reports, policy statements and practical implementation materials, subject to applicable publication and instrument licensing conditions.
Public abstracts and summaries remain accessible to everyone through Publications.
Training and events
Supporters receive discounts on eligible CDERP College programs and events and priority access to selected activities where places are limited, including supporter arrangements associated with the annual Warburton retreat.
A practice pathway
From supporter to partner.
Opportunities for deeper engagement with CDERP, for individuals and organisations alike.
Supporter
Accesses research, briefings and implementation resources.
Trained practitioner
Undertakes CDERP College learning at supporter rates.
Fidelity-verified practitioner
Develops practice that can be assessed against relevant CDERP fidelity frameworks.
Organisational partner
Engages CDERP in advisory work, evaluation and systems development.
Practice experience, cases, evidence and organisational learning return to inform CDERP’s research.
The pathway is illustrative. It is not a required sequence, and people and organisations can engage with CDERP at whichever stage suits them.
Becoming a supporter does not in itself confer training credentials, fidelity verification or organisational accreditation. Each is gained through the relevant College program, assessment or engagement.
