The shortlist for the 2018 Scottish Social Services Awards is now available. The awards attracted over 100 applications nationwide representing a diverse mix of social services that have made a positive difference to people’s lives.

It's World Social Work Day on 20 March 2018 and 50 years since the introduction of the Social Work (Scotland) Act. We're also celebrating our 10th birthday. 

Do you have an idea for an Iriss Insight (evidence summary)? Insights promote debate, discussion and reflection to inform and improve future policy and practice.

In March (15-18th), Iriss will host A Portrait of Care, a four-day interactive public exhibition that will showcase stories and reflections of the frontline social services workforce.

The subject of loneliness and isolation is one we're hearing a lot about recently. Monarch Mobility speaks about Iriss' resources on the topic.

Resource that focuses on putting ideas into action. You don’t need to be an expert in co-production prior to planning a project.

The Social Work Services Strategic Forum has published research on what the public think about Scottish social services and why.

The Scottish Social Services Awards 2018 are now officially open.

As valued stakeholders of Iriss, we would really appreciate your insight and advice as we plan our work for 2018/19.

To help ensure our work plan responds to the needs and priorities of the workforce, we want to know more about your current priority areas and key issues.

Are there gaps in skills, knowledge, evidence and tools that you would you like to see filled? How might we help with that? To help us understand your priorities, we invite you to answer three questions.
