Title

Creating and Curating Digital Content for our Evidence Community

2.2

Description of the goods or services required

Social Care Wales developed an evidence offer, which will be delivered over the next three years. We are taking a community management approach and are already working with a partner to launch the digital platform in April 2022.

By community management we mean the process of creating an inclusive community through different ways of interacting with people working in social care and researchers. For Social Care Wales this will be an important way of supporting people working in social care to use evidence to enrich their practice and policymaking.

We are seeking a partner to support our new community management approach by curating existing evidence-related content and creating new digital content about specific social care themes. This content needs to be appropriate for the Welsh context, delivered in both English and Welsh, in a language that is appealing and accessible to people working in social work and social care.

This will complement content already under development for and about our new community management platform.
