Making It Real’: Evaluating the Impact of Service User and Carer Involvement in Social Work Education
Service user and carer involvement (SUCI) in social work education in England is required by the profession's regulator, the Health and Care Professions Council. However, a recent study of eighty-three Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in England reported that, despite considerable progress in SUCI, there is no evidence that the learning derived from it is being transferred to social work practice. In this article, we describe a study that exa…

This paper describ…
