Summary: The evaluation of everyday multi-professional intervention to safeguard and promote the well-being of vulnerable children is limited and restricts both operational planning and professional intervention. The core aim of this programme are to contribute to the development of a platform that will support better understanding of the routes from intervention to outcomes for vulnerable children through utilising administrative datasets and longitudinal research. Presentation title: "The Scottish context: scale, scope and potential" Fiona Mitchell is co-ordinator for the Scottish Child Care and Protection Network (SCCPN). The Scottish Child Care and Protection Network is a collaborative network of academics and key stakeholders in child care and protection. The network fosters connections, collaboration and the coordination of activities that promote the use of research evidence in child care and protection practice in Scotland.
