Since 2004, research in practice has provided evidence-informed advice, training and resources to colleagues in Wales working in the children’s social care field. We have greatly enjoyed working with the Welsh authorities, and have valued the support of SSIA in creating and delivering with us.
If you felt you benefited from our services and are concerned about losing that support, you will be interested to know that individual Welsh local authorities have contacted us to request ongoing support.
LAs who wish to continue their relationship with research in practice can purchase one year's access to our website (including discussion forums, research resources and webinars) for £4,000 per agency. Welsh LAs are able to initially purchase access for just one quarter at £1,000 rather than engage in an annual contract. If your Authority would like to access our services on an annual basis, please contact us on This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
In the meantime, to keep abreast of our work, we recommend Partners continue to sign up to our e-bulletin. Simply email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and we will make sure you are subscribed and kept informed of relevant Wales-focused updates.
