Today, the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) publishes its 2022-2023 Annual Report.

Following our consultation in 2022 we’re preparing for changes to our Register and here’s what you need to know.

Social service workers have an important role in the lives of the people they support and rely on trust and rapport to develop good working relationships. Professional boundaries are the limits that make sure the relationship between a worker and the person using services is a safe and supportive one.

The Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) and the Care Inspectorate have issued a joint statement reminding people working in services and employers of our guidance on how to raise concerns in the workplace and the importance of speaking up. 

We have published our first six-monthly survey report which analyses the landscape of Scotland’s filled and vacant social worker and senior social worker posts in local authorities.
