Regulatory standards and data

We collect data about our regulatory standards including about ‘how’ we regulate registered social workers and social care. This is an important part of showing the role the Social Care Council plays supporting education and training, and where it is required to protect the public when they raise a concern through our Fitness to Practise process.

On our publications and media page you will find reports including:

– Social Care Workers Fitness to Practise Referrals Analysis 2012-2022.

– Social work education and training accountability reports.

– Review of the Degree in Social Work.

System alert – Public Facing Register

We are aware of a technical issue affecting a number of registrants who are unable to view their registration status on the Public Register Facing Register (the Register). Employers are also experiencing this when they are using the Register to look up the details of registrants. We are working to resolve this. Affected registrants should continue to work whilst their record on the Register is updated. If any further information is required by an individual registrant or employer, please email: registration@niscc.hscni.net.
