The Northern Ireland Social Care Council (NISCC) is the regulatory body for the social care workforce in Northern Ireland.

Registration with the NISCC recognises a social care worker’s commitment to providing quality services for those who need it most. It shows that they are suitably trained, professional in their practice and accountable for the work they do. Registered workers must meet the agreed standards in their conduct and practice set out in the NISCC Code of Practice. NISCC Registration Rules and Conduct Rules ensure that we register and regulate the workforce in a fair and robust manner. Visit the NISCC website for further information www.niscc.info
