Social Work Scotland’s Adult Standing Committee provides the voice of adult social work leadership and is committed to promoting personalised support, social justice and protection for Scotland’s vulnerable adults. The committee advocates for relationships to be placed at the heart of practice and for effective partnership and integrated working with families, communities and other professionals within the statutory, independent and third sectors.
The Subgroups support the work of the Adult Standing Committee by taking forward specific pieces of work identified and enabling the sharing of practice, networking, and supporting the committee feedback loop regarding new and emerging practice issues “on the ground”.
