Iriss

Iriss is a charitable company that promotes positive outcomes for the people who use Scotland's social services, by enhancing the capacity and capability of the social services workforce, to access and make use of knowledge and research for service innovation and improvement.

Iriss uses three approaches in the work that they do:

  • We inform - create conditions for effective information sharing
  • We translate and facilitate - support individuals and groups to make use of evidence
  • We co-create - work with communities to test out ideas and create conditions for embedding change

CLICK HERE to be taken to the Iriss website or have a look below for some specific reading/watching material you might find interesting and inspiring!

 

Iriss Insights are a wide variety of topics discussed in these evidence summaries including Achieving effective supervision, Prison leavers and homelessness,  Peer support roles in mental health services and Extending the housing options for older people. 

They outline the evidence and discuss the potential implications for the social services.

 Personalisation and Self Directed Support

Personalisation and Self Directed Support is about working with individuals to develop a personalised support plan for the future.  This approach will give individuals more choice, flexibility and control over how their support is provided, and allow  them to live an independent and fulfilling life in their local communities.

For more information about Personalisation and Self Directed Support, click on the following information below:

 Pilotlight co-designed seven pathways to self-directed support focusing on mental health, risk, self-employment, young people in transition, older people in transition, people with younger onset dementia and people in recovery from substance misuse. 

You can also access resources to enable insight and consider and how you use Self Directed support to influence how you live, care or work:
