Social Work, Social Care and Health Spotlight – Leadership in Social Services – SSSC’s Learning Zone

Welcome to our ‘Spotlight Sessions’ – events designed to raise awareness of an idea, approach or research that we believe could interest and inspire those involved in Social Work, Social Care, Health and related Third and Voluntary sectors. These sessions are open to all and recommended for anyone across all sectors interested in understanding more. As Leading to Change, we are delivering a series of awareness sessions relating to core themes within Social Work and Social Care with the intention of ‘shining a light’ into the areas of the sector that others may know very little or nothing about. We want to give people insights into roles and functions and the impact on ‘Mr and Mrs Smith’ with a view to reinforcing the message about collaborative leadership and the difference it can make.

This spotlight session hosted by the Scottish Social Services Council, will focus on the new leadership in social services resource on the SSSC’s Learning Zone, supporting you to think about ‘My Leadership’ and ‘Leading Others’. Whatever your role, this will help you find resources and information to develop your leadership skills and support the leadership of others. We will also look at reflecting on and recording your learning to support your Continuous Professional Learning.
