Services

If you want support to practice brilliantly — to change how you do things in your team, service or organisation — we can help.

We take on paid projects in a range of sizes and subjects. If you aren’t sure exactly what help you need, or don’t see what you are looking for on the list please get in touch. We can tailor our services to what you need

Bespoke service

We understand that every organisation has its own set of challenges and we can work with you to develop a bespoke solution that meets your unique needs, whether this is using our innovation model, combining two products into a single service, or delivering a dedicated coaching session for your team.

Why us?

Iriss has worked in the Scottish social care and social work landscape for the last 15 years. We have built up a wealth of experience and knowledge of the sector and have an extensive track record in the design and delivery of evidence, innovation and improvement projects alongside statutory sector, third, and independent sector partners. 

As an intermediate organisation, we recognise that we can’t do change work without being alongside (and learning from) the people and organisations who deliver and receive care and support. This has led us to developing and using a range of collaborative methods of work that come from the worlds of qualitative research, coproduction, service design, systems change and storytelling. 

Our team will work with you to identify the best approach for the type of change you are looking to make. 

For examples of the tools and resources we have developed on the back of this change work please see our page on doing social care and social work differently that provides descriptions and links to a selection of approaches and tools we have developed.  

You can also see how we are applying these approaches across some of our priority areas and our standalone projects.
