The Scottish Social Services Council Conference 2010

AssessForCare will be exhibiting at the Scottish Social Services Council Conference on Friday, 19 February 2010 at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre, Glasgow.

20:20 Vision - The social services workforce fit for the future

About the conference

All of Scotland’s citizens will use social services at some point in their lives. The SSSC as the workforce regulator, together with employers, workers, policy makers and people who use services have a responsibility to plan for a workforce able to meet future demand. Over the next five years over 50,000 social service workers will register for the first time. This will lead to a trained and qualified workforce with the potential to transform social services. The size of this task and making the links between workforce development and registration presents challenges to employers.

This conference will show how workforce development and planning, registration and the involvement of service users and carers adds value to services and benefits the sector.
