As a not-for-profit independent and impartial charity we are driven by improving social care for adults and children. From over 20 years’ experience, we bring a wealth of trusted, evidence-based expertise to work collaboratively to help transform care. This expertise is demonstrated in the feedback we have received on our delivery which we are proud to share in our Impact Report for 2024/25.
We support all those who work in social care, focusing on embedding co-production, driving innovation and improvement, influencing and supporting delivery and implementation of better policy, and improving safeguarding – we would love to discuss how we can best help you.

“Our impact is your impact.”
Now more than ever our sector needs an independent charity that makes the case for the incredible value and difference that great social care can make to people’s lives, and should be enabled to do so. Driven by the breadth of evidence collated, deep knowledge of the issues and challenges faced both locally and nationally, and by the voice of lived experience, SCIE has a unique role to play.
