REAL Organisational Support for Evidence Based
Practice Development Project
This Development
Project was developed in recognition of the difficulties
encountered in providing the right lead and environment
for evidence informed practice. It was designed
to help agencies create the right infrastructure
and climate for evidence informed practice. The
project complements the REAL Evidence Based Practice
in Teams Development Project and draws heavily
on what we have learned from both projects. The
action pack has been developed through project
work spanning three years and involving five of
our Partner agencies.
In the
action pack we have tried to focus on the vital
need to develop an evidence informed approach
to practice at all levels of an organisation,
whilst recognising the practical difficulties
that may stand in the way.

Officers will have been supplied with three copies
