Evidence, policy and practice by Jon Glasby
In many areas of the welfare state, there is a growing emphasis on 'evidence-based policy and practice'. Against this background, this edited book provides a hard-hitting and deliberately provocative overview of the relationship between evidence, policy and practice, how policy is implemented and how research can and should influence the policy process. It critiques the notion of 'evidence-based practice', suggesting instead a more inclusive idea of 'knowledge-base practice', based in part on the lived experience of service users. Written by leading policy analysts and researchers, it will be of interest to everyone in health and social care policy, practice and research.
"(Evidence, Policy and Practice) deserves a wide audience among researchers and policy makersStudents in social policy, health and social care will also find it illuminating." British Journal of Social Work
"This book is timely, enlightening and rich with ideas and examples. It exposes the challenging evidence/policy/practice relationship in the messy and political world of social care and health." Julie Jones CBE, Chief Executive, Social Care Institute for Excellence
"What we intend and what we deliver are often two different things and in many cases the learning from practice is not used to inform policy objectives. We need a virtuous circle and not a vicious one where policy, practice and evidence of what works for citizens in terms of delivering positive outcomes mutually reinforce each other. This new book seeks to create this circle." Richard Jones, President of the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services
