About us

The Insight Collective is a service created by Social Care Wales. It’s open to anyone working or interested in social care with a simple ambition: to work together to make a positive difference to social care.

The Insight Collective is a free service that gives you:

• access to evidence summaries that explain research findings
• access to social care data
• access to academic research and journals
• a list of ongoing and completed research and innovation projects, with details of how to get in touch
• an overview of the training available to you
• a guide to upcoming events, conferences and networking opportunities
• information about the communities you can join to connect with peers, researchers and others
• one-to-one advice from experts to help you find useful research, training and peer support
• our strategy work

We set up the Insight Collective because you told us:

• it’s hard to find relevant research
• you want access to new ideas being tested in the sector
• you want to find training recommended by your peers
• you want a platform to share ideas with other people working in social care.
