The journal has a strong inter-disciplinary focus, and seeks to facilitate discussion and debate that crosses the boundaries of professional contexts and domains including compulsory and post-compulsory education, nursing, social work, allied health professions and the criminal justice sector. 

Practice is particularly open to contributions that explore eclectic and experimental approaches to research and representing research outcomes. The journal is also keen to encourage authors taking a first step into public conversations and will provide proactive support for new writers.
