Registrant Survey 2025: helping us improve our services

We’ve published our 2025 Registrant Survey Snapshot Report. Our annual registrant survey plays a key role in informing our work and we use it to help improve our services.

Each year we ask the social work, social care and children and young people workforce registered with us for their views on:

  • our registration process
  • benefits of registration
  • our communications
  • our customer service.

Maree Allison, SSSC Chief Executive said: 

‘We’re committed to delivering our work with a high standard of customer service and your responses to the survey help us to improve our services, events and learning resources.’

‘Each year, your feedback informs improvement work across the SSSC.’
