A collaborative inquiry into how to improve the well-being of children was run over six months, as a partnership between Liverpool Hope University and a local authority Children’s Services.
The collaborative inquiry was based on a living theory approach to action research in which practitioners became increasingly aware and reflective of their moment-by-moment practice.
The Buddhist concept of mindfulness formed the basis of the practice.
Schön’s notions of reflection-in-action and reflection-on-action were then developed as enabling means of being mindful in each present moment.
