SDSS Members Opportunity to Review Social Work Scotland’s SDS Report
Members’ Event-Review of Social Work Scotland’s Report:’Best Practice and Local Authority Progress in Self-Directed Support’
Social Work Scotland were asked to work with Local Authorites to find examples of best practice in SDS. Whilst they are aware of some of the issues in terms of the implementation of the SDS Act and in the use of the approach within social work, they were asked to find examples of where and how SDS is working well.
Local Authorities were invited to take part and 15 out of the 32 Local Authorities made someone available for the research. These 15 areas were:
- Angus
- City of Edinburgh
- Dumfries and Galloway
- East Ayrshire
- East Dunbartonshire
- East Lothian
- East Renfrewshire
- Falkirk
- Fife
- Highland
- Midlothian
- Perth and Kinross
- South Ayrshire
- Scottish Borders
- South Lanarkshire
Social Work Scotland would like SDSS Members to have the opportunity to Review the Report before publication and have a series of questions for members to consider. Full consideration will be given to any comments made about their findings and the way they have presented them and they will look to incorporate suggestions where possible.
