The report for the Nominet Trust did include recommendations for further action, but we did record some ideas in blog posts.

We have reached the end of our exploration contract with Nominet Trust, subject to reviewing the draft and agreeing any more formal publication. However, I hope there is scope for further development, if we can find collaborators and funders. Heres a few ideas Im discussing on different fronts:
What I do feel strongly is that development should focus on whats useful to individuals, and anyone providing support: whether friends, family or care services. Both our team and Shirley Ayres found scores of research reports and initiatives that attract quite high levels of funding but appear to overlap quite substantially. We are now going to see further developments by innovation and funding agencies.
There is a need to curate and make accessible the work they are doing but one of the best ways of ensuring that it is actually useful is to take a human-centred approach as we have suggested above. Currently the ratio of research reports, and funding, to useful guides and support is weighted hugely towards the professionals and not the front line whether on the sofa or in the care home.
