Registration Information

Registration with the NISCC recognises a social care worker’s commitment to providing quality services for those who need it most. It shows that they are suitably trained, professional in their practice and accountable for the work they do. Service Users, workers and employers can be confident that the workforce has recognised standards of training, conduct and practice and that the small number of workers who bring the profession into disrepute by providing poor practice, or by behaving inappropriately, will be investigated by the NISCC.

NISCC is registering the social care workforce in phases according to job role and location. The social care workforce includes people working in a range of job roles, providing, managing or supplying personal care and support to individuals, families and communities. 

Registration is now open for:

• Social Workers
• Team leaders in residential child care
• Residential child care staff
• Head of residential homes and day centres
• Domiciliary care managers
• Adult residential care staff

The final phase of registration will run from 2008 to 2010 and will include social care staff in day care, social work assistants and domiciliary care workers. NISCC is working with employers to inform and support workers applying for registration. Click on the information links in the left hand menu to find out more about applying to register and maintaining registration. You can speak to your manager about registration or contact the NISCC Registration Team for advice (Tel: 028 9041 7633)
