5 WHY COLLABORATE AND INFLUENCE? Health and social care standards The new standards are relevant across all health and social care provision. They are no longer just focused on regulated care settings but for use in health and social care, as well as in early learning and childcare, children s services, social work and community justice. SSSC Codes of practice (code 6) Recognise and respect the roles and expertise of workers from other professions and work in partnership with them.

6 2017: Strategy for enhancing the leadership capability of Scotland s social services - Delivery plan To improve outcomes for people receiving social services, families and communities by supporting the development of effective leadership not only at all levels of the workforce but also with the people the workforce supports

7 WHAT THE STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS.. To address some of these challenges, there is a need to innovate and collaborate in response to the financial and changing political context, public service reform and changes in the way services are delivered, for example integration and developments in early learning and child care. To work effectively in a way that is constructive and adaptable, there is a need for social services to influence partners in inter-professional teams, see the bigger picture, look to the future, be brave and challenge, and manage risk and barriers.
