Care Inspectorate Short Workforce Survey
PLEASE NOTE: This care inspectorate survey is being used as an additional source of evidence and information for self evaluation purposes regarding local implementation of the national child protection guidance. The data generated is for local purposes and there will be no requirement for findings to be shared with the Care Inspectorate or the Scottish Government.
The survey should take you around 15-20 minutes to complete. When completing it, please indicate the extent to which you agree, or disagree, with each statement, based on your experience of your day-to-day job. Where some of the statements in the survey are not relevant to the job you do, please select 'Not applicable to my job/role' in the response box. In the survey, "We" means both you and your immediate colleagues, as well as your partner colleagues from other services or agencies, and the contribution that collectively you make to the lives of children and young people in need of protection.
You do not have to provide us with your name, just your current occupation/professional role. Views will not be attributed to any individual and will remain confidential. Responses should be received prior to the closing date of Friday 1st November 2024.
