Welcome to the SWIA (Social Work Inspection Agency) Website.

SWIA is working together with councils and other partners to ensure we all deliver the highest standard of service. Our independent systematic scrutiny of services is based entirely on grassroots evidence from people who use services; carers, staff and other key stakeholders. This makes us uniquely placed to provide informed comment on the state of social work services in Scotland. Look through our website to see how SWIA is helping improve people's lives.
