POLICY: SSSC - A register for the future Consultation

RCN Scotland agrees with the proposal to simplify and streamline the registration process for registrants to be as easy and smooth as possible.

We are not expressing a view for or against this being done by using job roles as key categories but would recommend adding job levels to make it clearer to staff and employers what is needed to progress to the next level. This would help giving registrants a potential roadmap or clearer view of how to develop their career and provide employers with the confidence for recruiting staff with the right qualifications and where not, to put in place plans for staff training and development. In turn, this will contribute to professionalising working in the social and care sector further.
