Research and Policy Updates (RPUs) are intended to assist individuals with keeping up to date with national policy developments and with key research reports. We aim to provide early signposts to key documents, with the issues in January, April, July and October focusing on journal articles published in the previous three months.

RPUs are posted on the research in practice for adults website on the third Monday of each month and electronic copies are sent by e-mail to the Link Officers in each Partner agency on the same day. They should then be distributed to staff throughout their agency.
