The School for Social Care Research (SSCR) is the national centre for adult social care research in England.
Funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), its internationally-leading research aims to work with practice, partners and the public to identify how best to deliver affordable, high quality and sustainable social care that meets the needs of a diverse and ageing population.
Ensuring adult social care is effective and fit-for-purpose is an urgent and complex challenge which impacts us all. The NIHR SSCR’s research aims to improve the evidence base in adult social care in its widest sense by generating new knowledge that will ultimately result in better quality of life for people delivering and receiving social care.
The NIHR SSCR’s research covers all aspects of adult social care including later life care; services for people living with physical disabilities; learning disabilities; or physical and mental ill health.
