In the face of complex and demanding work, it is crucial not to focus solely on the concept of evidence-based practice but to make use of all the evidence at your disposal and allow this evidence to inform your decisions. This book champions the integration of service user and carer knowledge, along with practitioners’ wisdom and the best research evidence to make a difference for service users.
Containing helpful examples of how to apply EIP to practice encounters, as well as a range of further reading and activities to help you to critically reflect on your experience, this book explores how EIP can be used to enhance your effectiveness as a Social Work practitioner, professional and social scientist.
Chapters in this textbook explore themes and skills you will need to consider and develop in your practice, including:
• Identifying, assessing, and critiquing difference types of ‘evidence’
• Understanding what constitutes research knowledge
• Ethical issues in practice and research
• Implementation of evidence-informed practice and evaluating your practice
• Interprofessional practice and creating evidence-informed cultures
Written by experts in the field, this text is essential reading for all Social Work students and qualified practitioners.

Service-User Research in Health and Social Care

In both projects a longer lasting cooperation with more marginalized service users was established. The Belgium project highlights social work lecturers and service users living in poverty, working in tandem to deliver a module to social work and socio-educational care work students. The example from the Netherlands involves young people from a homeless shelter as peer-researchers, working together with social work students. Both projects, different in focus on education or research, highlight striking similarities in the positives and challenges of working with service users including how this challenges both groups preconceptions of the other, deepens learning but also creates greater potential for confrontations which need to be managed creatively. The article also identifies the prerequisites for this to be effective including appropriate resourcing, training, facilitative skills and acknowledges that collaborations can be extremely fragile. However, such projects need further investment, experimentation and implementation on an international scale to share learning and promote creative approaches for the development and learning of social work students.

To illustrate this, findings from a recent evaluation by the authors of the Greater Manchester Gatekeeping and Allocation-Care Proceedings Pilot (the Manchester Pilot) will be presented. In the Manchester Pilot, the allocation of care cases to a particular level of court became a collaborative judicial decision, to be achieved through consensual decision-making. The social processes of face-to-face communication, negotiation, knowing and learning from each other in this new procedure, provide the main area of analysis in this article. Findings from our evaluation illustrate issues and opportunities for the lower courts under the new allocation arrangements within the Family Court, and may in some respects reflect aspects of other research of social processes such as Paterson's studies in the appellate courts (Paterson 1982 and 2013).

This is similar to social workers in general.
