Info events on Standard for Residential Child Care in Scotland
By News Scotland, , ,

The Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC), in partnership with the Centre for Excellence for Looked After Children in Scotland (CELCIS), are inviting child care professionals along to a series of events to find out more about the Standard for Residential Child Care and what it means for you and your organisation.

The Standard is the benchmark for residential child care workforce and specifies what is expected of those seeking registration with the SSSC as a manager, supervisor or practitioner in a residential child care service in Scotland. It also underpins the development and delivery of the SCQF level 9 qualification which managers, supervisors and workers will be required to achieve.

You will learn about the Standard and in particular the key principles which underpin the SCQF level 9 award:

  • work based learning
  • recognition of prior learning
  • assessed practice.

You will also have an opportunity to consider:

  • how the award will apply to you as an individual
  • how your organisation can prepare for the implementation of the award.
