We’re in the final stages of the Codes of Practice review. Over the past two years, we gathered feedback and ideas from registrants, employers, learning providers, people experiencing care and other key stakeholders.

A new data report by the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) provides an insight into its role in protecting the public by ensuring the registered workforce is trusted, skilled and fit to practise.

Following our consultation in 2022 we’re preparing for changes to our Register and here’s what you need to know.

We know registrants and employers have lots of questions about how the Future Proofing Programme (FPP) changes affect them, so we’ve answered some of them in our FPP FAQs.

Now is the time to tell us what you think about the revised SSSC Codes of Practice for Social Service Workers and Employers (the Codes) as we launch our consultation today (14 April). All the responses will help us finalise the revised Codes to make sure they support your practice and professionalism and are fit for the future.

Thanks to everyone who took part in our Codes Conversation over the past few months, we received feedback from more than 400 people which will help us for the next phase of the Codes Review.

We want to hear your views and ideas on what kind of Codes you’d like to support your practice and professionalism. What they would they say and what would they look like?

Earlier this year, before the pandemic, we spent the day at Capability Scotland, Dundee to find out how they work to the standards set out in the SSSC Code of Practice for Social Service Workers in everyday situations and how it reinforces their day-to-day work.

We understand that as health and care professionals you may be feeling anxious about Novel coronavirus (COVID-19). 

How do you use the Codes in your practice?

We spent the day at Oranges & Lemons Children’s Nursery, Technology Park, Dundee to find out how the SSSC Code of Practice for Social Service Workers reinforces their day to day work.

When you register with the SSSC you are signing up to our Codes of Practice for Social Service Workers (the Codes), so it’s important you know about the Codes and what they mean for you.
