We are consulting on pre and post qualifying standards for social work education. The standards will form part of the updated and expanded Framework for Social Work Education and will be the foundation for professional pathways in social work. We plan to publish the standards in 2026.

We’re starting work on a review of the qualification and modern apprenticeship frameworks over the next two years, and we would like you to get involved.

The Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) and NHS Education for Scotland (NES) have developed a new National Induction Framework for Social Care.

We have produced a new interactive dashboard designed to provide clear, insights into SSSC registration data. The tool allows you to explore real time updates on registered individuals, removals from the SSSC Register and findings from the leavers survey.

We’ve improved the Continuous Professional Learning (CPL) portal for the Early Learning and Childcare Workforce to provide better support for the workforce.
