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.

With SSSC registration, as with all areas of life, it’s important to be fraud aware to keep your details safe.

It’s nearly six months since we introduced the new continuous professional learning (CPL) requirement and soon we will start sampling registered workers’ learning.

If any of your employees are involved in a fitness to practice investigation and you also have involvement in their case, as their employer, we will be setting up an account for you in our fitness to practise online portal.

We have made some changes to the endorsement page of MySSSC to make sure the information provided on applications is as accurate as possible.

It’s important you tell us about any changes to your SSSC registration details as soon as they happen, whether it’s changing job, address, contact information or your name.

The new continuous professional learning (CPL) requirement for SSSC registered workers comes into effect today.
