I'm actually very pleased that reservations have been expressed - and overcome - about 'joining in' discussions. From talking to lots of practitioners, managers, trainers and students over the past couple of years about this website development, I'm only too aware that some potential users may feel that their concerns and opinions don't count. But one of the central purposes of this site is to provide a mechanism to get these views expressed. They do count! And we need to ensure that the practitioner perspective is heard.
Comments and questions don't have to be grounded in research or theory. Asking what may feel like a niave question or simply making a comment from a practitioner point-of-view is exactly what we need! Only in that way can we start sharing what we already know - and (importantly) start to identify research gaps that exist.
