The CLF is for everyone working in social services in Scotland but it is not a mandatory framework - individuals and organisations delivering social services don’t have to use it.  This means it can be used in lots of different ways – big and small.  In fact the CLF has been deliberately developed as a tool to support individuals and organisations to learn and develop in ways which are most appropriate to their own context.  They are not expected to replace what they have done with the CLF but rather to use the framework to support what they are already doing or planning to do and help them add value to this.

It can be hard at first to see how something new could work for you and your organisation.  This page offers you the opportunity to look at some practice examples.  You can read some stories of how the CLF is being used across the social services sector within large, small and medium-sized organisations.
