Easy Read Interim National Care Service Advisory Board: Advice to Scottish Ministers and Council Leaders - Scope of the Final Board
Easy read version of the advice from the Interim National Care Service Advisory Board to Scottish Ministers and Council Leaders on the scope of the final National Care Service Advisory Board.
Advice to Scottish Ministers and Council Leaders
Advice about all the final Board’s work
In all its work, the final Board should think about:
- the experiences of everyone involved in those services
- how to take away any barriers that stop people using those services
- any work already being done to improve those services
Advice about children’s services
The final Board should be able to offer advice on children’s health, social care and social work.
It should only do this when no one else is taking action to improve things already.
Advice about justice social work
The final Board should not focus on justice social work. But it should look at how justice social work interacts with areas like:
- mental health
- autism
- drugs and alcohol
It should also look at justice social work as part of a joined-up approach. This includes supporting families.
The final Board should also look at issues faced by people who work in social work and social care.
Advice about homelessness services
The final Advisory Board should, when needed, offer advice on:
- homelessness services
- housing adaptations
It should also think about how homelessness interacts with areas like:
- drugs and alcohol
- mental health
- justice social work
- children’s services
