South African Council for Social Service Professions (SACSSP)
Public Entity · Social Services · reports to Department of Social Development (DSD)
The South African Council for Social Service Professions regulates the social service professions. It operates under the Social Service Professions Act, 1978 (Act No. 110 of 1978).
It registers social workers, social auxiliary workers, child and youth care workers, auxiliary child and youth care workers, and community development practitioners. Registration is a precondition for practising in these professions.
It sets education and training standards, accredits programmes, maintains the registers, and exercises disciplinary jurisdiction through its professional boards. Its oversight matters particularly because social service practitioners work with children and other vulnerable people. It reports to the Department of Social Development.
