Emerge from the winter and spring into a day of evidence with Iriss! This full-day event at the lovely new Barracks venue in Stirling will focus on finding, producing and using evidence in social services. It'll take you on an exploration of resources, tools and ideas to support you make the most of evidence in your work setting.

Who should attend?

The day is aimed at managers and practitioners in local authority, third or private sector social services (social work and social care) with an interest in using evidence to inform practice or service design. Whether you’ve got lots of evidence experience or it’s all quite new to you, we’re sure there’ll be something in the programme that will help to spark fresh ideas.

About the day

There will be a mix of activities and workshops to choose from to suit your interests, from learning about evidence tools to peer learning about evidence into practice.

You'll get a chance to explore Iriss' new Navigating Evidence toolkit and our Information specialists will provide you with information on the Evidence Search and Summary Service and how it can support you.

There will also be contributions from the SSSC, Audit Scotland and the Care Inspectorate.
