Audit Scotland recently concluded that social work in Scotland is at a ‘watershed’, with vital decisions needing to be taken on the provision of services in the future.

Audit Scotland also stressed that the public and people who access the range of social work services provided across Scotland must be more involved in shaping future provision, with a debate required “on the level, the nature and affordability of services.”
