  1. CCPS Workforce Network Meeting Norton Park, Edinburgh 1st October 2012

  2. Judith Midgley, CCPS Workforce Associate Caroline Sturgeon, SSSC Adviser, Workforce Development and Planning & Cheryl Campbell, SSSC Senior Registration Officer Programme for Afternoon

  3. Consultation on proposal to consolidate the SSSC Register

  4. Why are we proposing to consolidate the Register? Currently… • Register has 18 parts • This is set to increase Feedback from the sector suggests… • Structure doesn’t reflect workforce deployment • Some workers need to Register on more than one part • Need for an increasingly flexible workforce

  5. Scope of the consultation Consultation includes: • All parts of the Register for social service workers in function related roles This consultation does not include Register parts for: • Social worker • Social work student • Staff of the Care Inspectorate

  6. Overview of our proposal 1. Consolidate the Structure of the Register • Propose 2 parts: Adult Services & Children’s Services • Each part would have 4 functional roles: • Manager • Supervisor • Practitioner • Support Worker.

  7. Proposed structure would look like this: *Please note, the qualifications listed are just examples, full lists of the qualifications we accept for Registration are on the SSSC website.

  8. What would this mean in practice? • Individuals able to move between service settings (within either Adult or Children’s services) without having to re-register, if they remain within the same job function • Reduce number of people who have to register on 2 parts • Current qualification requirements would be retained • Where qualification requirements differ, if moving to a different job role, a condition may be put on your registration

  9. Proposal 2: Standardise Renewal periods for Registration • Propose to standardise renewal periods to 5 years • This would apply to everyone on the proposed 2 new parts of the Register

  10. What would this mean in practice?

  11. Proposal 3: Streamline Post Registration Training and Learning (PRTL) requirements • PRTL should be completed on an annual basis • Propose PRTL requirement of 5 days (30 hours) per year. • This must include 2 days (12 hours) specifically in relation to the protection of vulnerable people

  12. What would this mean in practice? Standardising PRTL

  13. What can count for PRTL? Variety of formal and informal learning opportunities may count towards PRTL, for example: • Formal training courses • Reading / self directed learning • Supervision/team meetings/development time/work/seminars which demonstrate a reflective approach to learning • Experiential learning/job shadowing Reflecting on learning, and showing how this has helped inform practice is essential.

  14. And finally….next steps for consultation • Consultation closes 10 October 2012 • SSSC will analyse responses and submit formal report and recommendations to Council • If Council agrees any changes, then SSSC intends to begin implementation from Spring 2013 onwards • You views on how best to implement changes are sought in the consultation
