We’re consulting on a proposed increase to SSSC registration fees and want to hear your views on the proposal.

Since June new staff need to apply for SSSC registration within three months of starting their role. This is one of the changes to registration that came into effect on 3 June 2024. 

We want people to know what it means to be registered with the SSSC, to know about the benefits and value of being registered and the standards, skills and qualifications needed to deliver high quality care.  

The size of Scotland’s care workforce has grown for the second year in a row to the highest figure since records began in 2008. That’s according to a new report published by the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) today.

With over 2,000 people joining the social care sector each year and even more changing roles within it, staff and employers are investing significant time and money in the induction process.
