What is Ask IMPACT?

Ask IMPACT identifies ‘hot topics’ across adult social care, reviews existing evidence and produces very accessible guides to help people with the challenges and opportunities they’re facing. 

Ask IMPACT guides are designed to be really rigorous, but also practical and really accessible – building up a collection of trusted materials over time.
