Identifying promising practices in the specialised social field

For many years now, focus has been on identifying successful aspects of social policy, and on identifying social interventions and methods that have actually had a documented effect. However, at present, the effect of practices in the specialised social field are far from fully documented.

This report presents a joint typology and measuring tool which can identify "promising practice". In this context, promising practice refers to cases where results of the practice are unknown at present, but which are still likely to create progression and welfare for citizens and society.

The purpose of this report is to develop a shared understanding of promising practice across the specialised social field and to present a tool which can be used to identify the practices which are expected to have the greatest and most well-founded effect.
