Evidence and Knowledge for Practice by Tony Evans

Evidence and Knowledge for Practice by Tony Evans

Evidence and knowledge are fundamental in professional practice. A key skill for social workers is understanding how to use the range of sources available.

'This is a refreshing book from so many anglesI find it engaging as well as sophisticated in its coverage of ideas and issues crucial to the average practitioner. It introduces a broad spread of theories and perspectives in an accessible and meaningful way.'
Jan Fook, Royal Holloway University of London

'While notions of evidence-based practice and the importance of research mindedness have moved to the centre of policy, education and practice in social work, the literature available to help make sense of and implement these ideas is very limited. Evidence and Knowledge for Practice makes a huge contribution to filling that gap. It succeeds in being intellectually rigorous yet accessible and is an invaluable guide to students, lecturers, policy-makers and practitioners on how to understand and use evidence and knowledge in social work.'
Harry Ferguson, University of Nottingham
