We are pleased to say that we have now put the videos and PowerPoints of our recent Symposium online: youtube.com/channel/UCCziw… Playlist name: 2021 Symposium MIRRA Research Project

Links to the PowerPoint presentations of our symposium are now at: blogs.ucl.ac.uk/mirra/ The video recordings are at: youtube.com/channel/UCCziw… The current phase of the project is now over, but we are seeking funding to undertake more work in this important area

One of the outputs to the latest round of MIRRA has been the specification for an ‘app’ facilitating more participatory recordkeeping by providing a platform for young people in care to contribute to their own record. The software Specification is at: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo…
