Guide that responds to a demand amongst third sector organisations for guidance on how to use evidence to influence policy and practice. In summer 2013, the KTN conducted an online survey amongst a range of organisations across Scotland to better understand how they currently generate and use evidence. Of the 67 organisations who responded to the survey, 53 noted that they need more support with using evidence to influence policy and practice, and highlighted that having an easy-to-use guide that identifies and supports organisations through the key steps of doing so would be of value to the sector.
