ABSTRACT

This notion of enquiry as a journey is a very central one in Hartlepool NLC and the phrase was often heard in conferences and featured in interviews. The notion of a journey and of learning were important and evident in the reported experience of those in this community. It will shape this case study, which will be framed around what the participants have learned, as it was one of the first NLCs ‘to attempt this [enquiry] from scratch, without a history of enquiry or collaboration’ (Network facilitator) (see Table 9.1).
