SCIE’s work on adult services

SCIE’s work on services for adults supports the vision set out in the Department of Health’s Putting People First. This document defines SCIE’s part in the process of change as to ‘promote, identify and disseminate best practice and innovation, acting as a catalyst for system-wide transformation’. SCIE’s resources for adults have been produced with the aim of supporting all those who work in services for adults. They will also be of interest to people who use services and their carers.
