SSSC Learning Strategy 2017-2020

The Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) has a key role in helping the social service sector see the connections in different learning activities and the resources available to support workers and others. To do this, we must engage effectively with the workforce to help workers understand how important their learning is to improving outcomes for people who receive services. We must support social service workers to become selfdirecting and self-managing learners and a trusted, skilled and confident workforce. We also have a role in supporting formal leaders and employers to develop supportive organisational learning cultures, and supporting them to recognise how staff learning can contribute to the development of organisational culture and positive learning environments.
