Tell us what you think of the revised Codes in our consultation

The consultation is now closed.

We want to hear views from the social work, social care and children and young people workforce and employers, as well as people who use services, their families and carers and other stakeholders.

The Codes review is part of our wider Future Proofing Programme, which includes proposed changes to our Register and qualifications for registration.  

If you have any questions about the Codes consultation or the review, please email Codes@sssc.uk.com

Involving you

When we spoke to registrants, employers and stakeholders last year as part of the Codes review engagement, you told us there was a lot you liked about the Codes and also that we need to make some changes.

We used that feedback to revise the Codes that we are now consulting on.

How do I respond to the consultation?

All the information you need to take part and respond is on the Codes consultation page of our website.

There are eight main questions we’d like your views on, some general and others on the workers or employers Codes.

The consultation closes at 5pm on Friday 7 July 2023.
