Ideas for Iriss Insights 2026–7
We’re seeking ideas for our Iriss Insights series. Insights provide a concise and accessible summary of evidence on a topic of interest to the social work or social care workforce, drawing out implications for the workforce, to support good practice or to inform policy. There must be a sufficient evidence base for this. If you have a good idea for a topic, are sitting on desk research or have completed a recent literature review that could be turned into an Insight, we’d love to hear from you. Please answer the questions below to outline your proposed Insight.
What's your topic? (150 words or less)
*
What's the intent of the proposed Insight in terms of aims and objectives? What aspects does it plan to cover or questions does it hope to address? Who is the audience? (300 words or less)
*
How does it meet a need or gap? (Summarise relevant evidence that hasn’t been brought together before, including emergent areas; or re-frame or re-present evidence in a new way that is helpful to the workforce.) (300 words or less)

Is there sufficient evidence available? (This would draw on published qualitative or quantitative studies, practice guidelines and policy documents and can include relevant and accepted doctoral theses.) (300 words or less)
