As a staff member of NAHSCP, it’s important to ensure that you’re up to date with the codes of practice set out by the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC).
A revised set of codes came into effect on May 1, 2024, and all employees have a responsibility to read the updated codes and understand what these changes could mean to you – even where your role does not require you to be registered with the SSSC.

The SSSC regulates the social work and social care workforce in Scotland, ensuring that people can rely on services being provided by a trusted, skilled, confident and valued workforce.
The codes set out the standards of work and behaviour expected of everyone working in social care, as well as their employers.
Remember, whether you work for one of our frontline services, or behind the scenes in our offices, it is your responsibility to meet the standards, and you should use the codes to reflect on your practice and identify how you can continually improve.
