This is a summary of a literature review conducted around practitioner research in social services. The objective of the review was to establish the context for practitioner research and its impact on practice through identifying practitioner research undertaken in a social services context. The review formed part of an evaluation into the initiative taken by Children 1st and the Glasgow School of Social Work to develop a practitioner research programme. The evaluation was commissioned by the Institute for Research and Innovation in Social Services (IRISS) with funding from the Scottish Government?s Changing Lives Fund.
