SCOTTISH SOCIAL SERVICES AWARDS 2019 – #SSSA19!

The 2019 Scottish Social Services Awards will open in the New Year, inviting individuals, teams and organisations working across social services to enter or nominate someone worthy of an accolade.

Building on the success of the previous 2 years, they still include 10 distinct categories, designed to acknowledge innovation and recognise work which helps vulnerable people in our communities. We are looking for those who strive to make change happen, demonstrate a different or enlightened approach and the bright sparks of the future.

Our 2019 special Policy Focus award will be on mental health services in recognition of the importance of mental health services for everyone across our society.

The awards will be open for entries online from 7 January 2019, with a closing date of 15 February 2019. In the meantime, you can start planning what to enter by reviewing the full list of categories, along with our entry guidance and hints and tips on our website.

Be sure to check out our 2018 winners’ entries and films to see what makes a winning entry and the standards our judges will be looking for. Please follow us on social media and like and share our posts for #SSSA19.
