Working Together

The Social Care Council works with key partners, service users and professionals in Northern Ireland and across the UK to ensure workforce learning and development is a key element for organisations providing social care and social work services.

We are a partner in the Skills for Care and Development (SfCD) UK Alliance  – the Sector Skills Council for those working in social work, social care, early years, children and young people’s services.

Together we are developing a workforce that is innovative, skilled and sustainable; one that fosters economic growth and sustainable communities across the UK.


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.
