An evidence-based approach

We believe that research has a major role to play in improving outcomes for looked after children and young people.

Practitioners should always be critical and reflective, and ready to use their learning effectively in the workplace. At the same time, research should be informed by practitioners and practice experience. At CELCIS, we are committed to an evidence-based practice approach in all of our work.

Research will be disseminated through the publication of research reports, articles in professional and academic journals (including the Scottish Journal of Residential Child Care), books and book chapters, and presentations at seminars and major sector events.
