Information request and response under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002.
Information requested
1) When did the work on the TOM for the National Social Work Agency first commence?
2) The current status - i.e as of 21/11/24 - of that work and which organisations, outside of the Scottish Government, have been involved to date?
3) A copy of the TOM document, as it existed in relation to the NSWA, on 24th June 2024 when the Scottish Government's proposed amendments to the NCS Bill, along with accompanying documentation, were published by the Scottish Government.
Response
1) The work on the Target Operating Model (TOM) commenced on the 09/04/2024. However, a TOM had not been created at this early stage, but rather wider work was captured to help shape a potential TOM.
2) As of the 21/11/2024 the current status of this work is that it was stored on the Scottish Governments electronic records management system on the 8 August 2024 and has not been updated since 12 August 2024. This is because partners were not at a point to discuss this work and agree a preferred model of the NSWA, therefore no other organisation outside of the Scottish Government has been involved to date.
3) On the 24/06/2024 a TOM for the NSWA had not been created at this stage, initial agreements with partners on wider work so far were captured to help shape a potential TOM.
Therefore this is a formal notice under section 17(1) of FOISA that the Scottish Government does not have the information you have requested.
