The Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) is against racism in any form. We want to add our voice to the anti-racism movement and recognise the important role social services play in tackling discrimination.

The Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) has published its new strategic plan setting out how it will support the continuing development and professionalism of the social service workforce while protecting the public through regulation.

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

We recently received our Investors in Young People award.

We welcome the findings of the Independent Care Review as an important step in improving the lives of children, young people and those with care experience. We contributed to the workforce work group, which was one of 10 that examined different aspects of the care system.

The Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) successfully delivered its major digital transformation programme in 2018/2019. This included several new and upgraded systems alongside new IT equipment during 2019, at the same time as a 35% increase in applications to the Register as the 2020 date for mandatory registration of support workers in care at home and housing support services approaches.

The SSSC and NHS Education for Scotland (NES) have produced an annual report on our partnership working for the first time.
