'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.

10th Birthday!

DateMonday, February 3, 2014 at 3:08PM

This website 'practicebasedevidence.com' reaches its 10th birthday on 5th February 2014, and in celebration I hand the main message over to a colleague from a blogging course in London last year, Peter Galvin (with his permission to use his thoughts). Peter is a recently retired Educational Psychologist, and his blog 'The Summerhouse Years' is an entertaining reflection on the first year of retirement. However, he does occasionally reflect back on his work, and a recent post of his pretty much sums up the philosophy of many messages here in Practice Based Evidence. I couldn’t put it better, so it’s over to Peter, where he uses the ADHD label to discuss the issues raised by the links between labels, drugs and profits in mental health… you can access the post on his blog at http://thesummerhouseyears.com/mental-health-adhd/

A 10th anniversary is as good a time as any to reflect on the messages that Practice Based Evidence was established to promote, and in particular the way those messages are communicated. This site has changed from a traditional website to more of a blog in structure during its 10 years, and many people connect with messages through different media, so keep an eye on this space for further evolution as Practice Based Evidence moves into its second decade.

Best wishes to all who land on this site and find something that educates or entertains,

Steve Morgan.
