Fitness to Practise Panels play a key role in the fair, independent and transparent regulation of the social work, social care and children and young people workforce. They make decisions on fitness to practise cases in the name of the SSSC but are independent. 

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.  

We’ve just sent out our annual registrant survey to get our registrants’ views on the value of being SSSC registered and on the services we provide.

Maree Allison, Interim Chief Executive at the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) welcomes Plan 24-30 and underlines our commitment to realising the ambitions of The Promise.

Thank you to everyone who responded to our consultation on proposals to streamline and improve registration. These proposals are part of our Future Proofing Programme and include changes to the Register, our processes and the qualifications we accept for registration.
