This report describes the Growing Research in Practice (GRIP) partnership programme (2006-2007), which was aimed at developing a culture of inquiry amongst practitioners in nine social service agencies in Auckland, New Zealand. The report provides a description of the agencies, the focus of their respective research projects and methodologies. The GRIP programme and processes (for example, workshops and mentoring) are detailed, and an evaluation of the GRIP process is provided. The authors offer some conclusions about the programme itself, and more general conclusions in the context of social services organisations and the profession. The authors recommend that the responsibility for research in social service agencies be shared between the practitioner, the organisation and other stakeholders including academics.
