This document outlines Workshop 9, focusing on "Innovative approaches in quality frameworks for social services," presented by Renaud Scheuer from EASPD. The workshop aims to explore novel methods for defining and measuring quality within social services, assist service providers in enhancing their offerings, and discuss the applicability of these tools within specific regional and sectoral contexts. The session features presentations from Johannes Schädler (University of Siegen), Jan Šiška (University of Minnesota and Charles University), and Dr. Alistair De Gaetano (Office of Disability Issues, Malta). A key interactive element is the "Fishbowl discussion," a participatory approach where an inner circle speaks and an outer circle listens, with time limits and chair rotation to encourage broad participation. The workshop schedule includes the presentations starting at 9:35 following an initial introduction, with conclusions at 11:00, leading into a coffee break from 11:00 to 11:30, and subsequent workshops from 11:30 to 13:00. The event hashtags #QualitySocialServices are used throughout to promote discussion and networking.
