New Research, innovation and improvement skills resource

We’re excited to share that the Research, innovation and improvement skills resource is now live.

What’s it all about?

You told us that there were barriers to research, innovation and improvement.

We commissioned research a few years ago that identified several barriers, such as a lack of time or a perception that developing skills in these areas could be complex and difficult.

As a result, we’ve created this resource to support the development of research, innovation and improvement skills across the social care workforce.

What’s included in the resource?

We want to help people working in social care find relevant training and resources to develop their research, innovation and improvement skills. The resource includes links to useful opportunities written in plain language and simply laid out.

We’ve grouped our signposts into four key themes:

• use evidence
• improve and innovate
• evaluate your work
• shape culture

We’d welcome your feedback on the resource or any signposts you think might be useful to include: insightcollective@socialcare.wales.
