One of the aims of Social Care Online is to make information freely available to the social care sector. Either through the maintaining of resources such as the Research Register for Social Care or by partnering with other organisations including Ageinfo and Research in Practice we aim to put a wide range of resources at your disposal.

Research Register for Social Care

This is a new resource for social care research, practice and service user communities. The RRSC will eventually record all social care research being undertaken within Councils with Social Services Responsibilities (CSSRs) that has been subject to independent ethical and scientific review, including student projects. It can be searched to obtain summary details of the individual studies and links to further information about them.
