Abstract

Research contributes both to policy and practice frameworks. It is used to explore key areas, to produce constructive analyses, to contribute to evidence-based policy and practice and to inform evaluative activity. In the fields of social policy and so-cial work, practitioners are also increasingly undertaking research both to inform their practice and to generate and test out policies. In this chapter, research meth-odology, analytical processes and dissemination activity are discussed and ap-praised. Methodological issues associated with researching into these fields are examined and future directions are explored.
