Evidence for Decision-Making

What should professionals (eg in health, social care, etc) think about and do when identifying, organising, assessing and presenting evidence for a court, inquiry, decision, argument, etc? This mind map identifies some of the so many issues and offers some advice. It was prepared as a background resource to support a workshop, under the same title, at a conference primary attended by senior social workers, in Northern Ireland on July 1 and 2, 2018. Further detail (eg notes on particular nodes) may be added, and improvements made, before and after the conference.
