As part of the Supporting Adult Social Care Innovation (SASCI) project we have published transcripts from two online Witness Seminars held in March.

The first seminar considered the introduction of The Care Certificate in April 2015 and the second examined the introduction of social worker registration in England following the establishment of the General Social Care Council in 2001. The seminars involved testimonies from people closely involved in these two innovations and addressed key themes of the SASCI project including: how and why innovations spread and are sustained, the roles played by political leaders and other key influencers; and the role of evidence and values.

The transcripts were edited by SASCI project members Jill Manthorpe and Carl Purcell of the NIHR Policy Research Unit in Health and Social Care Workforce at King's.
