The Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) is organising a series of half day events to look in more detail at workforce data on children’s services and adults’ services. The organisation are increasingly being asked for more detailed workforce data on different parts of the sector (e.g. day care services for children, looked after children’s services and adult residential care) and in view of this have arranged these events to look at the more detailed data they have available. A key part of the events is also to engage with people who use or want to use this workforce data and hear from them about what is useful, what isn’t and what more we could do.
There are six half day events organised over three days – see details of dates and locations below. Each day there are two seminars one on the children’s services workforce and the other on the adults’ services workforce. Sign up for each seminar is separate and details of how to do this can be found below.
