“…In order to ensure the momentum of the upward trajectory found in this review, e‐networks such as INSWABI can continue to provide a mechanism for academic and research collaboration among established and early career researchers in TBI (Lunt, Ramian, Shaw, Fouché, & Mitchell, ). Adopting an academic–practitioner model with a focus on practice‐research can ensure that future work is clinically relevant, with a focus on developing and evaluating intervention, while also providing pathways for building research capacity among social work practitioners (Joubert, ; Joubert & Hocking, ). The ‘expert accounts’ represent a distillation of practice wisdom (Chu & Tsui, ) and provide a fertile set of practice‐based experiences, insights and ideas ready for future evaluation (Fawcett & Pocket, ).…”

The International Network for Social Workers in Acquired Brain Injury (INSWABI) commissioned a systematic scoping review to ascertain the social work-generated evidence base on people with traumatic brain injury (TBI) of working age. The review aimed to identify the output, impact and quality of publications authored by social workers on this topic. Study quality was evaluated through assessment frameworks drawn from the United Kingdom National Service Framework for Long-Term Conditions. In the 40-year period from 1975 to 2014, 115 items were published that met the search criteria (intervention studies, n = 10; observational studies, n = 52; literature reviews, n = 6; expert opinion or policy analysis, n = 39; and others, n = 8). The publications could be grouped into five major fields of practice: families, social inclusion, military, inequalities and psychological adjustment. There was a significant increase in the number of publications over each decade. Impact was demonstrated in that the great majority of publications had been cited at least once (80.6%, 103/115). Articles published in rehabilitation journals were cited significantly more often than articles published in social work journals.A significant improvement in publication quality was observed across the four decades, with the majority of studies in the last decade rated as high quality.

“…Powell and Orme (2011) report an ESRCfunded Researcher Development Initiative for social work, arguing for a 'social practices model' that emphasises context and situated learning that complement more traditional methods of research training. Established collaborative models are reported including those within health-based social work (Joubert and Hocking 2015) that, for example, led to a range of clinically focused research studies and growing research engagement and confidence amongst practitioners. There is an increasing recognition of how effective strategies must be underpinned by understanding the organisational context and social workers' practice (Harvey et al 2013).…”

This paper examines two distinct forms of practitioner research and makes tentative suggestions around what may constitute good practice in their conduct and reporting, and for the genre of practitioner research as a whole. We also explore their potential benefits and limitations within the wider set of research approaches. Discussion is informed primarily by an earlier review of practitioner research in adult social care and supplemented by knowledge and experience of wider activities related to practitioner research. Discussion is organised in three parts. First, we explore what are generic good practices around all forms of practitioner research. Second, we move to identify particular forms of good practice within what we call Type 1 and Type 2 practitioner research, situating them alongside a practitioner research matrix of stakeholder benefits. Third, we consider the implications of such discussion for how we best stimulate these types of practitioner research.

Learning from failure: are practitioner researchers the answer when conducting research on sensitive topics with vulnerable children and young people?

Research that is concerned with sensitive topics such as loss and bereavement can be ethically and methodologically challenging at the best of times (Cook, 1995; Dyregrov, 2004; Stroebe, Stroebe, & Schut, 2003). As Dyregrov observes: "It is well documented that research proposals in this field are much more likely to be rejected by International Review Boards compared to other proposals…" (2004, p. 391). Concerns include: the risk of causing additional distress or retraumatisation for participants
