Scottish Social Services Council - proposed register changes: consultation

SSSC's Public Consultation

In December 2021 the SSSC launched a public consultation 'A Register for the Future' which detailed proposals to streamline and improve registration. The consultation ran for 12 weeks from 20 December 2021 until 14 March 2022 and asked for views on the proposed changes to the register.

There was healthy engagement with the SSSC's consultation, with respondents sharing their thoughts, feedback and ideas. There were over 6,500 responses from people on all parts of the Register, alongside key stakeholders, sector partners, and others with an interest in SSSC's work. Key figures are shown below:

• 91% of responses were from registrants.
• 777 identified as employers or service providers.
• 243 identified as someone who acts for a person who uses social services.
• 39 responses from people who use social services.

Most respondents agreed with the proposed changes to the SSSC Register and the analysis report from the consultation can be found at the following link: Consultation: A register for the Future
