SSSC consultation on supervisory and management qualification requirements for adult services

SSSC consultation on supervisory and management qualification requirements for adult services

The SSSC are considering increasing supervisory and management qualification requirements for registration for all supervisors and managers in adult services.

The proposal is to change the minimum requirement for qualifications for supervisors and managers from 15 SCQF credits to 30 SCQF for new registrants (and possibly existing staff).

Although Scottish Care will be submitting a response, it is very important that our members recognise what these proposed changes mean in reality and engage with this consultation process.

The consultation closes on 16th April.

The SSSC also wants this consultation to inform the wider support provided to managers and supervisors. The questionnaire can be found through the link below:
