A Reviewing Officers Network has met for over fifteen years and in recent years has joined Social Work Scotland as the Reviewing Officers Subgroup, one of several subgroups reporting into the Children and Families Standing Committee.
Social Work Scotland is the professional body for social work leaders, working closely with our partners to shape policy and practice, and improve the quality and experience of social services. National conferences held between 2019 and 2023 agreed that Local Authorities would benefit from a handbook to encourage and improve consistency of practice across Scotland.
The Social Work Scotland Reviewing Officers Subgroup has since developed this guide with the assistance of the Social Work Scotland national team.
