The DEEP principles

Gathering and using evidence in practice: the DEEP principles

30 places are available in this session. Places will be allocated on a first come, first allocated basis.

What is DEEP?

DEEP is a co-production approach to gathering, exploring, and using diverse types of evidence in learning and development using story and dialogue-based methods.

Gathering and using evidence is easier said than done.

Gathering and using evidence in learning and development is widely promoted but difficult to achieve. Simplistic approaches to evidence-based practice that do not take account of context often fail. There are increasing calls for human-centred rather than process-driven approaches. The DEEP approach provides a human-centred approach that overcomes some of the challenges of simplistic evidence-based practice.

What the session will cover.
This session introduces people to the eight principles that underpin the DEEP approach to using evidence in learning and development. An understanding of these principles helps people to set the stage for gathering and using evidence. The principles also prepare people to use a range of DEEP methods that are shared in other sessions and on the DEEP course.

Who might benefit from the session?

This session will benefit everyone involved in gathering and using evidence in learning and development. An understanding of DEEP is included in Levels 4 and 5 of the Health and Social Care Qualifications, so this session is also useful for students and trainers involved in these qualifications.
