The library is happy to announce access to a new online resource, Social Policy and Practice. Social Policy and Practice is a comprehensive bibliographic database for those working or studying in the health and social care sectors – bringing together information from the UK’s five leading collections of health and social care resources.
Social Policy and Practice helps professionals, practitioners, researchers and students interested in health and social care to identify articles and publications of relevance to the UK context. It is widely used by universities and NHS Trusts, as well as by charities and specialist research institutes.
With a focus on evidence-based information, topics and subjects span children and young people as well as adults and older people. These include: health and wellbeing, play, social and family policy, social care, crime and youth justice, child protection and safeguarding, mental illness, climate change and policy, and more.
Users can find Social Policy and Practice directly on the Library’s Discover platform, by searching for Social Policy and Practice in the Database A-Z or by clicking here.
