We’re introducing a new level of job role for practitioners in care at home and housing support when we make our Register changes on 3 June.

The revised SSSC Codes of Practice for Social Service Workers and Employers (the Codes) come into effect from today, 1 May 2024.

Guidance for employers and workers who are unable to apply for registration between 10 April and 3 June 2024.

We’re introducing new continuous professional learning (CPL) requirements for registrants with a focus on key skills and knowledge. We developed the requirements in consultation with registrants, employers and other key stakeholders. We'll introduce the new requirements on 3 June 2024. 

Following our consultation in autumn 2023 we’re introducing return to practice requirements for social workers who’ve been out of social work practice and off the SSSC Register for more than two years. The new requirements will take effect from 3 June 2024.
