Research Briefings and Reports
NICEC undertook a wide range of research contracts and consultations until 2010. This archive contains a selection of that research output.
Adult guidance in community settings (Briefing 1998)
This page contains the NICEC publications for which we hold digital copies. It will be in strict alphabetical order (including definite article 'The') but please bear with anomalies whilst this is work in progress. We are currently also working on lists which will be searchable by author and year. We intend to complete this work by September 2022.
Many publications make reference to obtaining print copies or further resources, but such references are largely out of date.
