Theme: Making the Case for Investing in Strengthening the Social Service Workforce Across Sectors

Overview: Every year, the Alliance hosts Social Service Workforce Week to advocate for social service workers and raise awareness of workforce strengthening efforts across the globe. In 2022, we hosted two virtual events, released three new guidance documents and published a series of blog posts and worker profiles to:

1. examine the diverse roles of social service workers when located across various sectors, such as health and education, and within humanitarian contexts;
2. exchange learning on how the social service workforce can work most effectively when located in community settings across these different sectors, and
3. recommend strategies and interventions for planning and resourcing the social service workforce required for this range of roles, including how to use our costing and ratios guidance to plan the most impactful deployment of social service workers.
