The development of evidence-based social care guidelines need to follow certain standards and procedures, the process must be objective, fair, and transparent to ensure that guidelines are developed, scientific, timely, and available. Currently, many organizations have issued standard methods for developing guidelines, but the methods are mainly focused on clinical practice, and few methodological studies on the development of social care guidelines. To promote the development of evidence-based social care guidelines in China and strengthen the transformation from research to practice, this article is based on the "Social Care Guidance Manual" published on the NICE website, combined with the actual situation of domestic social care, inviting domestic evidence-based social science research experts to discuss and specifically introduce the development methods of evidence-based social care guidelines, and this article takes the "Guidelines for Providing Social Work Services to Adults with Complex Needs" as an example, interpreting the process for developing guidelines to make the guide development method more transparent.
