A report by the Chief Social Work Officer (CSWO) presented Committee with information in relation to professional social work governance.
Lengthy discussion took place on how communication takes place between different professions and what accessibility there is for the CSWO to ensure any concerns raised are addressed in a timely manner. It was stated there are different systems in use that can make the sharing of information challenging.
The CSWO outlined proposals to hold briefing meetings with Board and Council members to highlight any issues and matters for attention.
The Corporate Manager advised an operational group had been established between Aberdeen City Integration Joint Board (IJB), Aberdeenshire IJB and Moray IJB to look at solutions to challenges around access to information.
Thereafter the Committee agreed to note the content of the report.
Dr Taylor and Mr Coady entered the meeting during discussion of this item.
