We’ve pulled together key information on the Codes of Practice for Social Service Workers and Employers into a toolkit to help employers speak about the Codes with their staff and people using services.

We have produced a new learning resource for people working with children and young people to support you to use the SSSC Codes of Practice, the principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and the Promise in your practice.

Everyone in the social work, social care and children and young people workforce in Scotland has the right to feel safe at work. Racism and other forms of discriminatory conduct are unacceptable.

Social service workers, like anybody else, have the right to a safe place of work, free from harassment and from other harmful acts. Unfortunately, as with any other sector, there are cases of inappropriate behaviour in social service workplaces.
