The Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE; pronounced 'sky') is a UK charity and improvement agency. SCIE shares knowledge about what works in practice across social care, social work and beyond, covering adults’, families’ and children's care and support services.
SCIE has a role identifying and disseminating the knowledge base for good practice in all aspects of social care in the United Kingdom. It produces guides in different formats, including specialist tool kits and more general learning materials, covering management and policy issues as well as day to day services.[1] This includes training, consultancy, webinars, research and product development to support improvement.[2] These products and services are co-produced with people who use services and carers, and through collaboration with care providers, commissioners, policymakers and researchers.[3]
