What Works for Children’s Social Care (WWCSC) has teamed up with National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and Nuffield Family Justice Observatory (NFJO) to explore how WWCSC is bringing research straight to the door of local authorities, through the Evidence Ambassador (EA) programme.

Evidence Ambassadors are practicing social workers whose role is to bring research directly to the people who need it. They share messages about what works and make evidence more accessible to their colleagues through events, presentations and engagement. Most importantly, they discuss how research findings can be applied to everyday practice to support the children, young people and families they work with.

There will be opportunities to hear from two EAs during this session as they explain their role and experience of sharing evidence. Finally, members of the WWCSC Young Advisors group will talk about their involvement in WWCSC’s work and the importance of research in practice.

Speakers:

Bev Curtis - Practice Development Manager, WWCSC
Charlotte Goulding, Social Care Policy and Practice Support Manager - NICE
Beverley Barnett Jones (MBE), Associate Director (Practice and Impact) - NFJO
Helen Lea - Evidence Ambassador, Liverpool
Sam Cohen - Evidence Ambassador, Bath and North East Somerset
Members of the WWCSC Young Advisors Group
