Abstract
• Summary: Evidence-based practice is a familiar, if contested, theme in contemporary health and social care. If it is to be more than a passing fashion, there need to be much stronger and more credible partnerships between practitioners and researchers. This article identifies key lessons derived from a small local experiment (DATAR) in the UK which sought to build a bridge between a locality in a large rural social services department and a child care research unit.Keywords
