Social Work Area Demographics (2011)
This report provides demographic analysis of the new social work areas, including the multi-member wards, focussing on the general population, child and older person vulnerability, disability and support, and social work clients (children and families and community care) as at 1 November 2010. The general and social work client populations are also considered within the context of multiple deprivation. The report aims to provide managers with information that can inform the planning and service development of social care services, as well as to provide locality-based staff with additional information about the social environments in which they operate. Supporting tables with full analysis, including the multi-member wards, are published alongside as a separate file.
Social Work Area Demographics does not include Criminal Justice data; this is available as a separate report (national level), along with a link to supporting tables (national level and local authorities).
Employability Training Evaluation (2008)
The Employability training module designed and delivered by Equal Access to Employment was developed as one of a number of interventions designed to support better informed practice amongst frontline health and social care workers. The report contains key findings on the effectiveness of the training and the extent to which the training successfully completed the aims and objectives that were set out from the outset. The evaluation also sought to explore the process of arranging and delivering the training from the perspectives of those involved in development and delivery, and those who attended.
Assessment & Care Management Training Framework (2008)
An evaluation of Assessment & Care Management training for Older People/Physical Disability staff. The research involved close working with Social Work’s Learning & Development section and South West CHCP with whom the Scottish Government worked closely to establish the framework. Recommendations from the evaluation were used to develop the training further and support staff personal development plans.
Local Area Coordination Evaluation (2008)
An evaluation of the effectiveness of the two LAC projects in Glasgow’s East and West CHCPs. The evaluation study sought to highlight the person-centred work completed to date and the positive outcomes on providing support to service users and their families. As a result of the research, lessons learned have been identified and proposals put forward as to how both projects can develop/ improve further.
Research Ethics Application Form (2011)
All research projects carried out by external agencies (e.g. universities) that involve access to Social Work staff, service users or resources need prior approval by the Research Manager (acting on behalf of the Social Work Services Directorate). This document details the assessment process and outlines the main points for researchers to consider.
If you are submitting a research ethics form for a proposal that has already been screened via the NHS Ethics Approval Process, one of the forms below should be used.
Housing & Employment Pilot Evaluation Tools (2007)
An information pack was put together by Glasgow’s Social Work Performance & Research Team to measure the success of the employment and housing programme, a programme designed to support young people in managing their own accommodation situation as well as assisting them into employment. The work was a collaborative project in conjunction with a local housing association in East CHCP.
Enhanced Vocational Inclusion Programme (EVIP) Evaluation (2005)
Following on from the Vocational Training Programme carried out in 2002, a further programme was developed in conjunction with education and social work services in 2005. This programme was to be made available for young people who would be entering their S4 year and who could be described as at risk of entering the NEET (Not in education, employment or training) group on leaving school. The report provides feedback on the consultation process which took place.
