Welcome to the website of Making Research Count. This site provides information about the national work of the organisation, and provides links to each participating University. More information about the regional work of Making Research Count and regional events is available from the website of each University.

This website is in the early days of development and we hope to develop and expand its content over the next year. If you have any feedback about the site or what you think should be included – please contact the coordinator for your region. Contact details are available on each university page.

WHO WE ARE
Making Research Count is a national collaborative research dissemination initiative, established by a consortium of Universities and developed by regional centres. These university based regional centres have formed collaborative partnerships with member agencies, to promote and develop knowledge-based practice and improve services in social work, social care and it’s interface with health and education. Each regional centre has established a unique approach to knowledge based practice based on the needs of local partnerships.

This consortium of universities has a proven track record in social work and social care research as well as providing social work education at qualifying and post qualifying levels. These common interests provide a foundation to promote '‘knowledge-based practice” in social work and social care.
