Annotation	SCIE is committed to reflecting the wide range of groups who have a stake in social care, and this brings the need to ensure that evidence from a range of sources is recognised and valued. This review considers what types of knowledge SCIE should draw on, and how to identify good quality knowledge. The review recommends a system of classifying knowledge in social care and a framework for assessing the quality of that knowledge. Most importantly, it offers a unifying vision of the contribution that different types of knowledge can make to social care, and one that SCIE can reflect in its work to develop methods of reviewing knowledge.
