Research in practice

Research in practice is a project I came across because one of our technical people is working there as e-learning coordinator. I thought is was interesting because if its evidence-base into practice focus. It is "the largest children and families research implementation project in England and Wales. It is a department of The Dartington Hall Trust run in collaboration with the Association of Directors of Social Services, The University of Sheffield and our network of over 80 participating agencies in the UK. ... Our mission is to promote positive outcomes for children and families through the use of research evidence. ... Our purpose is to identify effective methods of understanding and using research by providing services to a collaborative network of committed agencies." http://www.rip.org.uk/index.asp
