Hinweis der Redaktion
- The Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) was established in 2002 and is responsible for registering people who work in social services and regulating their education and training. Our role is to raise standards of practice, strengthen and support the workforce and increase the protection of people who use services. Our vision is a competent, confident workforce, capable of delivering high quality services that has the confidence of the public, those who use services and their carers.
- Here are the parts of the Register currently open, along with the dates the Register opened.
- The part of the Register for Workers in a Care at Home Service is not yet opened. The anticipated date is 2017 but The Scottish Government will announce the confirmed dates in due course.
- Apart from the registration for social workers, all other parts of the SSSC Register is function based which means workers have to be carrying out a relevant role to be eligible for registration . Eligibility for registration is not based on what qualification a workers holds. Workers should seek guidance from their employers as to what part of the Register they should apply based on what job function they are carrying out. Workers can be registered on more than part of the Register if they have more that one social service employment but would still only pay one registration fee. With regards to seasonal workers, discussions are still taking place but the proposal is that seasonal workers will be required to register on the third consecutive year of working in the service. This has not yet been confirmed and we will add information to our website when this has been agreed.
- If a worker is registered with another Regulatory Body, for example the Nursing and Midwifery Council or the General Teaching Council for Scotland etc, they cannot Register with the SSSC. If they wish to Register with the SSSC instead, they must end there registration with the Regulatory Body they are registered with. They can still apply for registration with the SSSC if they are in the process of being removed from the Register and should indicate this in their application form.
- Where a worker does not hold a relevant qualification for registration they must still apply for registration. Applicants to the Register who do not hold the required qualifications may, if they meet all the other eligibility criteria such as evidence of good character, be granted registration subject to the condition that they achieve the required qualification within their first period of registration. At the point of renewal of registration, we will request evidence that this condition has been met. Where a registrant has been unable to meet this, we will deal with these on an individual basis and request further information in relation to why the registrant has been unable to achieve this. This information will be considered to determine if the renewal will be granted.
- The Scottish Social Services (Registration) Rules set down PRTL requirements that all registered social service workers must meet in order to ensure their continued suitability for registration. Registrants are personally responsible for ensuring that they meet PRTL requirements. Consultations will take place before the PRTL for workers in a Care at Home Service is confirmed. Registrants should keep a log of any training and learning undertaken since their date of registration with the SSSC. They may be asked to provide evidence of this upon renewal of registration.
- The fee amount for workers in a Care at Home Service has not yet been confirmed. Consultations will take place before the fees for workers in a Care at Home Service is established. For information on fees for parts of the Register currently open, please refer to our website at www.sssc.uk.com.
- An annual fee is due on the anniversary of the registration date. This will be for the same amount as the original application fee. Where are registrant fails to pay their annual fee or renew their registration, their registration will be lapsed and they will be required to reapply. If registration is a requirement, they will not be able to work until they have re registered.
- There’s lots of information available on the SSSC’s website funding page and that Wendy Johnston, who compiles the update document, is happy to discuss eligibility for funding on the ‘phone. Emphasise that the eB is really useful and that’s where particular sources, such as the Voluntary Sector Development Fund, (VSDF) is promoted. We expect that the Scottish Government funded VSDF will run in 2012-13 and that an announcement will be made in June on which groups of social service workers, employed by voluntary organisations, are eligible for support this year.
- The funding update document on the website gives clear details about the above sources, and others, which offer support for learning and qualifications and are all relevant to the social services sector.
