Introduction

The Independent Review of Adult Social Care has encouraged the need for us to be bold and make the changes that will improve the way that support is delivered. Decisions will be made in the Parliament and in Local Government that will bring about that change but to really make a difference it cannot all be left to the politicians.

In-Control Scotland invites you to be part of our ‘Working Together for Change’ programme.

 

What is it?

This programme provides training and learning to build on the skills, knowledge, and capacities of all participants as equal partners.  The people who know best about what needs to change in Social Care are the people who in their personal experience; in the life of a family member or in their professional lives…or maybe all three…live it out, day by day by day.

 

Who is it for?

This programme is designed for disabled people, family carers and people who work in social work, social care and health services who want to stop talking about change and do something to make it happen.

 

How will it work?

The programme will be delivered over 11 sessions (in total) and will be delivered with a mix of in-person and online sessions over a 6-month period from September 2024 - March 2025.

 

We will have a total of 30 places available and due to funding provided by the Scottish Government, the programme will be FREE to attend for participants. 

 

Our application process for the Working Together for Change 2024/2025 programme is now open.  This year we are asking applicants to complete a one-page profile rather than an application form and you can download a copy of the template for this on the link below along with guidance on how to complete this.  Applicants also have the option of submitting their one-page profile on audio or video.  You can also download the programme descriptor which provides all the details about the programme and the dates of all sessions.
