Social work experiences of the care system
The Independent Care Review group was launched in May 2017 with the aim of identifying and delivering lasting change in the care system, which will transform the wellbeing of children and young people. The Review is looking at the legislation, practices, culture and ethos which make up the care system across Scotland. Key to the Review’s process is hearing the voices of those with experience of the care system, including all those working to support children, young people and their families. To facilitate this, Social Work Scotland and the Independent Care Review have commissioned new research to gather the views of social workers responsible for the provision of services to children and families across Scotland.
Jane Scott has been commissioned as an independent researcher to undertake this work and this survey is the first step in gathering your views. The survey offers you a confidential space to reflect and comment on what is working well and the challenges for the care system, as well as ideas and thoughts about what should be done differently in the future. The information collected is anonymised. Responses will be explored in two further discussion groups and the final question asks if you would like to register your interest in taking part in these discussion groups. Alternatively, you can email Jane Scott (jmscott@btinternet.com) directly to register your interest.
The survey should take no longer than 15-20 minutesto complete and closes on 9 August 2019.
