National Care Service: factsheet: Easy Read version
This easy read factsheet gives information about the Scottish Government's National Care Service (NCS). It explains the need for an NCS, the benefits of an NCS, and the plan for creating an NCS. It also has facts about Scotland's current social care landscape.
What will change under the NCS
The NCS will aim to help all people across Scotland get the same level of services. This will be the case whatever NCS service they need and wherever they live.
The NCS will make sure different services work under the same guidance and share the information they need.
The NCS will involve people with experience of services at every level of planning.
We will create a new National Social Work Agency (NSWA) as part of the NCS.
NSWA will be a single national body. It will work with agencies and social workers.
NSWA will lead these things across Scotland:
- social work education
- helping local areas improve
- workforce planning
- social work training and development
