What our clients say
"Jon is at the forefront of promoting the use of social technologies and social learning for social services. I recommend reading his report "Social Media in the Social Services" written for the Institute of Research and Innovation in Social Services. He has highlighted both the opportunities and challenges presented for social work and social care in using social media effectively to engage with service users and carers. Jon was responsible for organising and managing the thought provoking and highly successful learning technologies conference and exhibition #emtech11 which explored how technologies offer new ways to engage, converse and collaborate across social services. Jon is a thoughtful and insightful individual whose understanding of social technology and multi-agency working is invaluable. Jon is a pleasure to work with and I look forward to future collaborations with Focused on Learning."
(Shirley Ayres, Director, Shirley Ayres Consulting)
"Focused on Learning has been instrumental in helping SSSC create a platform for delivering workforce development support to the social services sector in
Scotland. They were very responsive to our needs and have continued to offer effective expert support following the conclusion of the project."
(Keith Quinn, Scottish Social Services Council)
"The training was a real success and although they were working in less than perfect conditions they provided a tailored solution. The in depth knowledge
and the solution focussed manner enabled our team to move away from the training with complete confidence."
