The
All Agency Audit constitutes one element
of the research in practice
evaluation plan and is designed to monitor
the use of research evidence within individual
agencies, across the research in practice partnership.
A
key component of the All Agency Audit is
the utilisation of four benchmarks in order
to determine how far research in practice intermediate objectives,
which relate to the assimilation of research
messages, are being met. These benchmarks
are as follows:
teams have ready access to at least
one research-based journal or other substantial
sources of research information
the role of evidence-informed practice
is visible in team action plans
aspects of performance management at
all levels in the organisation reflect
evidence-informed practice
case reviews, court reports and service
planning documents cite research evidence
as an aid to decision making
