Workers in adult day care services with international qualifications
The SSSC is currently working to formulate a procedure to assess the equivalency of international qualifications. Until this procedure is in place we cannot process applications from workers who have gained their qualifications outside the UK.

If a worker wishes to undertake further qualifications which meet our criteria, they can be granted registration subject to the condition that they achieve the required qualifications within a specified period – normally their first three year period of registration provided they meet all the other eligibility criteria for registration eg evidence of ‘good character’.

If the worker is not going to be undertaking any further qualifications, they will have to delay applying for registration until the SSSC has a process in place for verifying international qualifications. Once a system is in place the SSSC will publicise it through the SSSC eBulletin, SSSC News and this website.
