Bodleian Libraries users now have access to Social Policy and Practice via Ovid.

Social Policy and Practice is a bibliographical database that contains over 300,000 records, covering research, analysis and discussion of health and social policy.

To achieve this, three leading providers of information and research services working in this area have agreed to merge their databases. Since January 2015, the database has been further enriched with data from the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, strengthening the coverage of child protection and safeguarding issues. Social Policy and Practice also contains database records from the National Children’s Bureau, up until January 2018 when their library closed.
