| Public Sector | Changing Lives, the Report of the 21st Century Social Work Review, set out a vision for the future for social work services in Scotland. A key recommendation was the need for a new organisational approach to managing risk, which ensures the delivery of safe, effective and innovative practice in social work services. In particular, Changing Lives recommended a strengthening of the governance and leadership roles of the Chief Social Work Officer. Guidance on the role of the Chief Social Work Officer aims to assist local authorities in the discharge of their social work responsibilities and help local authorities maximise the added value of the Chief Social Work Officer – both at a corporate and professional level.
