Workforce Matters Event – 22 April

Managers and Supervisors: With Social Care Comes Great Responsibility 

Workforce Matters would like to invite you to attend our upcoming April event focusing on the challenges facing managers and supervisors working in social care. This event will take place on Wednesday 22 April from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm at The Marriott Hotel, 500 Argyle Street, Glasgow, G3 9RR. 

This event will take forward the conversation that has begun with the recent focus groups and will use the feedback provided to create a discussion paper on the various themes that have been raised. The event will have sessions delivered by both the Care Inspectorate and SSSC on the specific initiatives they currently have to provide support to those working in manager and supervisors’ roles.

There will also be opportunity to prioritise the areas that have been determined to be causing the most problems when delivering social care services both in care homes and the community. Due to the vast and complex nature of the challenges facing the sector we see this as an opportunity to highlight these issues as advised by Scottish Care members and for care providers and the workforce to decide what pressure areas require to be addressed first.

Please contact [email protected] to register your interest and book a place at the event.
