How can research be more ethical, inclusive and community-driven? Participatory Appraisal Research (PAR) is a powerful approach to community-led research, widely used in the UK for over 25 years. Rooted in action research, PAR empowers communities to take control of research processes-from design to analysis-ensuring that those most affected by social issues shape the solutions. Through interactive visual tools, PAR overcomes barriers such as literacy and numeracy, fostering inclusive engagement. This book offers a comprehensive guide to PAR, exploring its practical application, ethical dimensions and impact across diverse contexts. Featuring real-world case studies, it is essential reading for researchers, practitioners and policy makers seeking to embed meaningful participation in their work.Binding: Paperback / softback
