Social Policy and Practice database

Social Policy and Practice (SPP) is a comprehensive subscription-based database of evidence and research in health and social care. It provides access to a growing collection of hundreds of thousands of abstracts from journals, books and research reports on topics including children and young people, vulnerable adults, social work, special educational needs and disabilities, crime and youth justice, and health and wellbeing.

The NSPCC is part of a UK consortium of organisations who work together to create Social Policy and Practice. Through one database we bring together the NSPCC Library catalogue with information from four of the UK’s leading collections of health and social care resources:

• AgeInfo - Centre for Policy on Ageing
• Planex - IDOX Information Service
• Social Care Online - Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE)
• Child Data - National Children’s Bureau (NCB) (to January 2018)
• Greater London Authority (GLA) – archive material only
