SUMMARY:Peer chat: Case Management Systems
DESCRIPTION:Peer chat is a new event format: a 45-minute long\, informal meeting open to all SIAA members. \nParticipants will discuss an emergent topic: in this session\, it’s the good\, the bad\, and the ugly of case management systems. \nThe goal is to consider the current state in your organisation and see what else is possible\, drawing on knowledge and experiences of the colleagues across the sector. \nWe will discuss the following questions: \n– What system do you use at the moment?\n– What do you like about your current system?\n– What are you missing from your current system?\n– What was (is) the impulse to change?\n– What were (are) barriers to change? \nThe session will be held on Zoom. \nPlease register here to attend: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0qfuyvqDIpG9WAabGkYmiFyNzySvYz970o \nEmail events@siaa.org.uk with any questions.

SUMMARY:Outcomes Framework: Ready to go?
DESCRIPTION:The Outcomes Framework is officially launched!\nThis advanced session is intended for organisations that are confident in collecting data on outcomes.

Please come with questions prepared! \nDuring the session\, a member of the working group that co-developed the Outcomes Framework will speak about their involvement and own experiences with outcomes. We will also discuss SIAA’s plans for creating a national dataset for independent advocacy in Scotland and what it means for you – SIAA member organisations. \nWe are holding a second event in the morning\, which is intended for Members who are in the beginning of their outcomes journey. \nSome members elected to join both sessions.

This ensures you will get the most out of both sessions! \nWhen registering for the event\, please make sure to register each person from your organisation separately. \nRegistration link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0lceqtpz4iHNUWvgmhMTZc-eKRbvkWGPLo \nWe encourage you to feed any questions or observations that might arise before the event into this form: https://airtable.com/appS9Ksb2p9J7ymq6/pagk4wX8V7tKvcpCJ/form
