The Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) today announced the appointment of Maree Allison as its new Chief Executive.

Applications to the 2024-25 Voluntary Sector Development Fund (VSDF) are now open. The fund supports voluntary sector organisations providing social services that are a registered charity and are registered with the Care Inspectorate.

We’ve published our second six-monthly survey report on Scotland’s filled and vacant social worker and senior social worker posts in local authorities, which shows there were more social workers in post compared to the year before.

Maree Allison, Interim Chief Executive at the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) welcomes Plan 24-30 and underlines our commitment to realising the ambitions of The Promise.

Today we publish two statutory reports setting out our continuing work to put care experience at the heart of what we do and to embed children’s rights in our work.
