e-learning update  
Our e-learning section has been updated with two new exercises, conduct disorder and parental drug misuse. These exercises represent an exciting new approach to research in practice e-learning content, adding new levels of multimedia and interactivity to create a memorable and valuable learning experience. These 30-60 minute exercises include quizzes, graphics and animations and a printable certificate to evidence time spent on professional development. Please visit the e-learning section of our website to experience this latest partner-only feature  
Directors' Forum  

The Directors’ Forum (June 12 & 13) is a key event in the research in practice year for Directors of Children’s Services and for Chief Executives of national organisations. It examines strategic methods of looking at integrating evidence-informed practice within our Partner agencies. Make sure your agency takes up its place. Click here for more details.

 
learning events programme  
Have a look at our Learning Events Programme. It showcases current and dynamic practice-focused research which contains key messages that can be translated into your practice. Our programme reflects the multidisciplinary context of Children’s Services. Most of our workshops and conferences are of relevance to social care professionals, healthcare worker and practitioners or policy-makers in education. The events encourage networking and discussion between practitioners from a wide variety of backgrounds from across the county. We now have a new and streamlined on-line booking system and you can read about what people have said about the events.  
research in practice is the largest children and families research implementation project in the country. It is a department of The Dartington Hall Trust run in collaboration with the Association of Directors of Children’s Services, The University of Sheffield and our network of almost 100 participating agencies in the UK.
