SSSC annual conference looks at building a confident social service workforce |
A confident social service workforce will have a positive impact on the delivery of high quality services to the people who need them most, increasing public confidence in the sector.
Aimed at frontline social workers, social service employers and training managers across Scotland, over 280 delegates will explore the theme of confidence and the positive impact it can have on workers, organisations, people who use social services and carers at the Scottish Social Services Council’s annual conference on 9 November at the SECC, Glasgow.
As the regulatory body for the social service workforce in Scotland the SSSC is committed to developing a confident, competent and valued workforce.
Robert Brown Deputy Minister for Education and Young People will address the conference and keynote speaker Dr Carol Craig, Director of the Centre for Confidence and Well-being will give a national perspective. Key speakers also include TV presenter Kaye Adams and Dr Brian Durward, Dean of School of Health and Social Care, Glasgow Caledonian University.
Morag Alexander, Convener of the SSSC explains:
“Part of a social service worker’s job is making decisions that can have a huge impact on the lives of others. And we know what happens if something goes wrong. This conference will look at how we ensure public confidence in social service workers. But will also look at what makes a confident workforce and how we develop it within the social service sector.”
