Prompts draw together three main types of evidence - research, policy documents and practice examples. Web publication provides an ideal format for presenting evidence drawn from a range of sources and allows us to incorporate downloadable copies of key documents and live links to useful resources.

Research evidence is gathered through searching the electronic and print literature as comprehensively as possible within the time constraints set for publication in order to summarise key current evidence on the chosen topic and provide an overview of what the evidence is saying
