Professional curiosity in public protection

Gathering the knowledge

Iriss’s Professional Curiosity project has been seeking to develop a deeper understanding of this topic and its implications for the Public Protection workforce in Scotland. This report brings together both the literature review and findings from the discussion sessions that were core to the project. It is an overview of professional curiosity as it relates to Public Protection work across Scotland.

Professional curiosity across public protection

Iriss is embarking on a new project to find out all about professional curiosity across the public protection agenda - and we’re looking for interested folk to help us out. We’re holding three sessions for anyone who wants to chat through the issues around professional curiosity in their work today. Please do register your interest below if you want to talk about the positives or challenges (or a bit of both) on this topic. (UPDATE: all sessions are now full. Thanks everyone for your interest, more details will be sent out w/c 11 August).

Professional curiosity in the Scottish Borders

Building capacity and confidence for curious minds to thrive

What are we doing about Professional Curiosity in the Scottish Borders?

Improving chronologies is a national challenge and features on most Joint Inspection reports across Scotland in relation to both adults and children’s services. This is as much a challenge in the Scottish Borders as it is across the rest of the country. Here in the Borders, we want to change this. Alongside a desire to improve our chronologies, making them more analytical, we are also thinking about how we can develop a culture of professional curiosity across partner agencies.
