The SSSC are consulting on the SSSC Registration and Fitness to Practise Rules (the rules) and the Guidance for Fitness to Practise Panels on Making a Decision (guidance).
These are the main documents that set out the way:
- they manage the Register
- their hearing process works
- their panel members decide the appropriate sanction.
The consultation is open from 1 June 2016 until 5pm on 31 July 2016. It is important that providers take part in this important consultation, or give their feedback to Scottish Care.
When the consultation ends the SSSC will consider whether there are any changes they need to make to improve the draft versions, for example:
- add in anything that has been overlooked
- make the rules clearer
- suggestions and improvements
- make changes to prevent any unintended consequences if a rule change will have an impact on a stakeholder they have not considered.
