Introduction

In the autumn 2019 and into early
2020 a regional initiative was
commenced. This work, crossing
organizational boundaries and
inclusive of service users and carers
culminated in the establishment of
a Research Community1 and the
publication of the Social Work and
Social Care Research Evidence-
Supporting Continuous Improvement
in Service Outcomes - Strategy
2020-20252.
This document outlines the plan
for taking the work of the strategy
forward. It has been developed by
the Building a Research Community
Group. The collaborative approach
adopted from the inception of this
work will continue as an integral part
of our approach as we go forward.
