SCIE (Social Care Institute for Excellence)
SCIE develops and promotes knowledge about good practice in social care
and social work. The Institute identifies useful information, research and examples of good practice,
and uses this to develop guidelines for good practice and proposals for further research to inform good
practice.
It also maintains an extensive online resource
of free information about social care
known as the “Electronic Library for Social Care”.
The
Department signed a service level agreement
with SCIE in June 2004 extending its remit to cover Northern Ireland.
Under
the agreement, SCIE is committed
to promoting an inclusive partnership approach with social care stakeholders in Northern Ireland to
help ensure that its work programme takes account of factors particular to Northern Ireland and that
its good practice guidance is implemented locally.
SCIE guidance can be accessed at: www.scie.org.uk
