Social Policy and Practice is a unique bibliographic database for those working or studying in the social and health care sectors. SPP is a vital source of relevant evidence, produced by UK-based organisations which play an active role in guiding practitioners and policy-makers.
SPP helps professional, practitioners, researchers and students to understand, plan and evaluate existing and future social policy. It is used widely by organisations from the public, private and third sectors, as well as by universities and colleges, and the database has been identified by NICE as a key resource for those involved in research into health and social care.
SPP provides fast access to vital evidence and research information, from books and journals as well as many reports - from national and regional government departments, public agencies, local authorities, third-sector organisations, consultancy and professional bodies, academic think-tanks and research departments.
