Quality research evidence can improve service design and delivery, and professionals in child and family services often need to use this to inform their work. This can include writing grant proposals, developing program theories, or preparing program evaluations. 

This presentation discusses practical strategies for finding and using research evidence in a practice context related to Australian child and family services. It covers different types of research evidence and how to find and assess its quality; as well as insights into how research evidence can be used alongside other forms of evidence, such as lived experience and practice expertise.

The webinar is intended for anyone interested in understanding and using research evidence more effectively. It will be particularly useful for professionals involved in service design and delivery, especially those who write grants and funding applications, design new programs or refine existing ones, and those who support or do program evaluations.

The webinar video is accompanied by the presentation slides and document detailing related resources.
