Expanding the SSSC Register consultation

We’re consulting on a proposal to add new groups of workers from the social service workforce to the SSSC Register and want to hear your views on the proposal. 

The proposed new groups are:    

  • adult day care service - support worker, practitioner and supervisor 
  • offender accommodation service - practitioner, supervisor and manager  
  • social work assistant.  

We need your views on the role descriptions that set out what people in these roles do, the qualifications relevant for the role, the fee levels and continuous professional learning (CPL) requirements which set what continuous learning is needed for each role. 

Please share this consultation as widely as possible  

We want to hear from people who would be affected by this change and also from people using care services and with lived experience. 

We will be publishing a short video explaining the proposals on our website that you can also share or use in staff meetings. 

Read the full details of the proposals and how to respond on the Expanding the SSSC Register consultation page. 

The consultation opens on Thursday 30 January and closes on Wednesday 9 April 2025.
