Conversation analysts can you help me out with a response to reviewers? Plz share any evidence that training developed from CA can (a)change healthcare professional behaviours (b)change health outcomes PLUS (c) any references of ‘good practice’ identified through CA being absent from guidance. 🙏

Sure start centres were all but abolished by the Tories and youth services were severely cut by their austerity policies. However there is ever growing evidence they worked and brought benefits to individuals and to society through lower crime and social care spending.
