The Scottish Social Services Council has developed a range of resources to assist employers to meet these challenges. Some are focussed on supporting the individual employee to plan and progress their own learning and development, others are intended for employers to support them in developing the workforce they need now, or may need in the future. This site is designed to give you access to these tools.
