This book champions the integration of service user and carer knowledge, along with practitioners’ wisdom and the best research evidence to make a difference for service users.

Chapters in this textbook explore themes and skills you will need to consider and develop in your practice, including: • Identifying, assessing, and critiquing difference types of ‘evidence’ • Understanding what constitutes research knowledge • Ethical issues in practice and research • Implementation of evidence-informed practice and evaluating your practice • Interprofessional practice and creating evidence-informed cultures Written by experts in the field, this text is essential reading for all Social Work students and qualified practitioners. *** This book forms part of the Social Work Skills in Practice series. The series focuses on key social work skills required for working with children and adult service users, families and carers. The books offer both theoretical and evidence-informed knowledge, alongside the application of skills relevant for day-to-day social work practice. They are an invaluable resource for pre-qualifying students, newly-qualified social workers, academics teaching and researching in the field, as well as social work practitioners, including practice educators, pursuing continuous professional development. *** 'This book is an excellent introduction to the subject for social work students and social workers. It sets out in a very accessible style the ways in which social workers can develop understanding of key features of, and practical ways to make use of, Evidence-Informed Practice, within a real appreciation of the social work role and its values. I would advise all social work students and social workers to read it.' Professor Brian Littlechild PhD, Research Lead, Department of Nursing and Social Work, University of Hertfordshire, UK
