Resource to support social workers during COVID-19
We’ve produced an online resource to support social workers dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. It will be particularly useful for social workers returning to frontline services, those joining the temporary social worker register and others redeployed to a different role than usual.
We produced the Guidance to help social workers respond to COVID-19 (coronavirus) resource in partnership with the Office of the Chief Social Work Adviser in Scottish Government, Social Work Scotland, Scottish Association of Social Work and other key stakeholders.

Guidance for employers on core training for redeployed workers, temporary workers and volunteers
We’ve produced guidance in partnership with NHS Education for Scotland which provides useful resources and links to support employers with training for redeployed workers, temporary workers and volunteers.
The guidance is a national resource which will support the frontline workforce in health and social care. It will support safe practice when addressing the needs of vulnerable people receiving care services.
