The Making a difference since 2001: SSSC intelligence report highlights key facts and figures from our work. The report is a snapshot of the workforce intelligence we’ve gained over the past 20 years that we can use to help policy makers, partners and workforce planners.
The report links to the new SSSC Data and Intelligence Strategy we are developing, which puts the SSSC at the centre of workforce intelligence expertise in Scotland.
Welcoming the report, SSSC Chief Executive Lorraine Gray said:
‘Over the last 20 years we’ve built up a wealth of knowledge on the social work, social care and early years workforce.
‘Our work as regulator puts us in a unique position to gain and develop insights into the workforce which helps us pinpoint challenges and opportunities for the wider sector.
‘We use that intelligence to help improve support for the workforce and we can share these insights with others, from policy makers to workforce planners to develop the workforce we need now and for the future.
‘I hope this gives you a snapshot of just some of the insight and information we can provide and we’re looking forward to working together with our partners as we develop the workforce for the future.’
