The General Social Care Council (GSCC) is a non-departmental public body of the Department of Health which regulates the social work profession and social work education in England. It aims to protect the public by requiring high standards of education, conduct and practice of all social workers. The GSCC’s functions will transfer to the Health Professions Council on 31 July 2012.
The GSCC’s regulation of social work education involves a number of activities, including:
• accrediting higher education institutions (HEIs) to deliver the social work degree;
• approving social work degree courses; and
• ongoing monitoring of HEIs’ delivery of the social work degree.
