SSSC changes to management qualifications

To ensure management qualifications are fit for purpose, the SSSC agreed in June 2009 to change the management requirements for registration.

Now, there must be evidence that any award in management that is certificated at or above SCQF Level 8 (minimum of 60 credits) has been mapped against the National Occupational Standards (NOS) in Leadership and Management for Care Services.

The mapping should include the mandatory units of the Leadership and Management for Care Services standards and should be at the element level. The mapping should be done by the awarding body. Without this mapping the award will not be accepted as a qualification for registration with the SSSC.
