New* NICE/SCIE quick guide - Evidence for strengths and asset based outcomes

This quick guide is based on  recommendations from a range of NICE guidelines and quality standards.  They focus on identifying and supporting an individual’s strengths and assets and building a stronger connection between the individual and their community.

By focusing on what individuals and communities have and how they can work together, rather than on what individuals don’t have or can’t do, social workers can improve outcomes for the people they support. The quick guide is available in online and PDF formats and will also be useful for staff training.
