On foot of a recommendation in the PPN Structural Review report, S3 Solutions was commissioned by the Department to undertake research to explore ‘Barriers to Involvement in PPNs’.

PPNs, their individual member groups and others in the wider PPN community participated in the research, and we would like to thank everyone for your valuable contributions.

We are pleased to advise that the final ‘Barriers to Involvement in PPNs’ report has been published, together with an ‘Easy-Read’ version for greater accessibility. Both documents are available on the PPN landing page in link here.

We are also pleased to invite member groups to an upcoming webinar on the research, where the report will be presented by the lead researcher, Eamonn Seydak, of S3 Solutions. Eamonn will present on the findings of the research and will be taking questions afterwards.

Webinar details are as follows:  

• Date: 12^th November 2025
