The Dissemination of Research Findings in Children's Services: Issues and Strategies

Abstract

The dissemination of authoritative research knowledge is essential for professional development in children's services, yet there is little evidence available to suggest how this might be best achieved. The previous article (Price et al, 2006) shows that when research findings are presented in a variety of ways, the products are valued by professionals but more needs to be done if success is to broaden. In this article by Roger Bullock two questions and four challenges facing social researchers are considered in the light of the changing nature of children's services, new technology and the activities of a voluntary UK organisation concerned with adoption and fostering. Recommendations to improve the relationship between research, policy and practice are made.
