The View from Here: a survey that aims to understand the experiences, attitudes and views of the Scottish social services workforce

Published in News on 16 Apr 2015

Are demands on the social services workforce greater now than they have ever been? What are the views of practitioners about their work?

The current climate poses both challenges and opportunities. We want to better understand these challenges by finding out more from people working at all kinds of levels and in all kinds of roles about the real experience of delivering care and support.

To understand the experiences, attitudes and outlook of the social services workforce and their managers in Scotland, Iriss in partnership with The Guardian has put together The View from Here survey.

Iriss will use your responses to:

  1. Support and promote public understanding of the sector in Scotland
  2. Identify and share opportunities and ideas for improvement
  3. Create a baseline for understanding views and experiences in order to measure change over time

Please complete this survey if you provide care and support in Scotland. And get others involved too!
