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

We are consulting on a new qualification, still in development, which  will allow individuals to work across different roles and settings.

A new report providing a snapshot of the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) Register gives a unique insight into the social work, social care and children and young people workforce.

When was the last time you signed in to your MySSSC account and checked your contact details and personal information?

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.

Applications to the 2023-24 Voluntary Sector Development Fund (VSDF) are now open. The fund supports voluntary sector organisations providing social services that are a registered charity and are registered with the Care Inspectorate.

As an employer, you have a responsibility to make sure your staff are registered within six months of starting their role.  

You don’t need a qualification to start working in social care or children and young people services as we can register you with a qualification condition. However, it’s important you do work towards it and keep in touch with us.

Seventy-five voluntary organisations across Scotland are benefitting from grants totalling more than £1 million to help social care workers gain qualifications, the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) announced today.

Changes to our Register as part of our Future Proofing Programme will go ahead following approval from the SSSC Council. We will also change some aspects of registration relating to qualifications.

It’s important that every organisation has the right people set up with access to their workers’ registration information as they are our main points of contact in all matters relating to registration.

The Care Inspectorate and the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) have updated their guidance on the regulation of managers.
