The Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) is the regulator for the social service workforce in Scotland. Our work means the people of Scotland can count on social services being provided by a trusted, skilled and confident workforce.
We protect the public by
registering social service workers
setting standards for their practice, conduct, training and education
supporting their professional development.
Where people fall below the standards of practice and conduct we can investigate and take action.
