Introduction

The Independent Review of Adult Social Care has encouraged the need for us to be bold and make the changes that will improve the way that support is delivered. Decisions will be made in the Parliament and in Local Government that will bring about that change but to really make a difference it cannot all be left to the politicians.

In-Control Scotland invites you to be part of our ‘Working Together for Change’ programme.

 

What is it?

This programme provides training and learning to build on the skills, knowledge, and capacities of all participants as equal partners.  The people who know best about what needs to change in Social Care are the people who in their personal experience; in the life of a family member or in their professional lives…or maybe all three…live it out, day by day by day.

 

Who is it for?

This programme is designed for disabled people, family carers and people who work in social work, social care and health services who want to stop talking about change and do something to make it happen.

 

How will it work?

The programme is delivered over 11 sessions (in total) and will be delivered with a mix of in-person and online sessions over a 6-month period normally from September - March 

 

We offer a total of 20 places available and due to funding provided by the Scottish Government, the programme is offered FREE to successful participants. 

 

APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN for our Working Together for Change 2026 - 2027 local programme for people who live and work in Social Care in East Lothian.
