This site hosts the ESRC funded project: Mediating Consultation: Private Sector Consultancies Engagement in Local Air Quality Management (LAQM) Consultation (RES-172-25-0047).  The project is being undertaken by an interdisciplinary team of the Air Quality Management Resource Centre, and the Science Communication Unit at the University of the West of England, Bristol. 

This is an ESRC Impact Grants project providing an opportunity for researchers to undertake new and additional Knowledge Transfer that demonstrates the impact of research by engaging with a business sector organisation or showing an impact on policy or practices.  The focus of this work is to investigate how environmental consultancies are working with Local Authorities and are assisting them by providing consultation. 

One of the research outcomes is the publication of "IMPROVING AIR QUALITY CONSULTATION - A Ten Step Plan for Environmental Consultancies."  Click here to download the document.
