What do you think of the revised Codes? Let us know in the comments.

We're aware of an issue with our Open Badges platform where some Badges are not showing when you click on them. We are working to fix this as soon as possible and will let you know when it’s fixed.

The revised Codes of Practice come into effect tomorrow. There is a Code for workers and a Code for employers which reflect their joint responsibility in meeting the standards expected of them.

5 weeks to go! We’ve started writing to registrants to let you know which part of the Register you’re moving to. You don’t need to do anything we’ll automatically move you to the right Register part. For full details about the changes to our Register, visit our website.

There’s just two days until we publish the revised Codes. Learn more about the Codes and what they mean for social service workers from Kerry, a support worker in a sheltered housing complex in Aberdeen.

We are looking for an accomplished Chief Executive who will lead the vision & strategic direction of our organisation, delivering a customer-focused approach that will ensure the delivery of our key priorities.
