'Working with Strengths' was published in May 2014 as a comprehensive resource for reviewing the literature and reflecting on strengths-based practice as applied to people in contact with services, as well as the strengths-focused development of practitioners, teams and organisations. It draws on the wider business literature as well as health and social care references to broaden the applicability of the ideas.

'Risk Decision-Making' was published in 2013 to help shift the focus from a tick-box culture to the realities of what good practice should be about. The manual and cd-rom provide the resources that should engage senior management in organisations, as well as the practitioners and multidisciplinary teams.

June 2007 saw the publication of the Working With Risk Trainers Manual and Practitioner Manual through Pavilion Publishing. The Trainers Manual provides a flexible two-day training programme, with the option of using any of the individual sessions as stand-alone training resources. The Practitioner Manual provides a set of practice-based risk tools with supporting guidance on how and when to use each. These materials also aim to discuss some of the wider risk issues and identify a key part of current research and literature. The practice-based tools are also supported by completed case examples.

Practice Based Evidence commenced business in October 2001. Promoting the value of the messages from service users, carers and practitioners experiences. These are often marginalised by the emphasis placed on research.

Getting to know you, getting to know all about you...

Well, maybe not that much detail, although I am sure anyone reading this is a perfect specimen of taste and sophistication (or maybe just related to Steve).

No, what we really want to know - we being Steve (the brains) and Paul (the budget boffin) - is what visitors and subscribers to the site are looking for? There is already a huge amount of content here, harvested from the previous site, and there are some great new articles in the pipeline. But are there related area's of interest that you would like to see covered? Or perhaps there is a specific question you would like Steve to address?

Whatever your views on the site, we'd like to hear from you. With this new incarnation of the site, we finally have the option for visitors to reply to posts and it would be great to see some discussion and debate. And if you have any good ideas for the site, please drop us a line at either steve@practicebasedevidence.com or Paul@redhotbelgian.com.

Thanks for your time, hope to hear from you sometime!

Steve and Paul
