SCIE (Social Care Institute for Excellence) set up by gov in 2001 -
Knowledge can included experience as well as research based
evidence - places mor value on users and practitioners experiences.
SCIE argue for knowledge based care
Organisational Knowledge
develop a wealth of experience
Practitioner Knowledge
develop own knowledge as to
what would suit the individual best
User Knowledge
Users have first hand knowledge what works and what doesn,t
and also what might be acceptable to them in the future
Research Knowledge
This is knowledge that comes from research findings
Policy Community Knowledge
Civil service, think tanks and many
voluntary organisations have a lot of
experience about the wider policy context
Its important that decision is not based on just one of these sources of knowledge -
Organisations can get set in thier ways and stick to practices most convenient for them.
