ARC North Thames Social Care Learning Network

Summary

Given the challenges facing social care today, it's vital that local authorities and social care researchers learn from one another on using research to inform provision.

The Social Care Learning Network is a regional capacity-building initiative led by LSE's Care Policy and Evaluation Centre. It seeks to improve the capacity and capability of social care researchers and local authority staff in North Thames to conduct, be involved with, and contribute to social care research.

The programme will support social care local authority staff into internships in research institutions, and social care researchers into career development fellowships in partner local authority settings.
