Abstract

The evidence‐based approach to social services will deliver higher quality only if the necessary evidence on what works is there and available to managers. Success will also require an organisational change, away from the ‘culture of action’ and towards one of assessment, reflection and training; evidence is of no value unless it is understood and digested.
