The Council shall, in the exercise of its functions, act— in accordance with any directions in writing given to it by the Scottish Ministers; under the general guidance of the Scottish Ministers; and in a manner which encourages equal opportunities and in particular the observance of the equal opportunity requirements. Schedule 2 to this Act shall have effect with respect to the Council. The Council shall maintain a register of— social workers; social service workers of any other description prescribed; and persons— participating in a course, approved by it under section 54(1) of this Act, for those wishing to become; or employed in positions probationary to their becoming, social workers or social service workers of such other description. There shall be a separate part of the register for— each description of social service workers prescribed by virtue of paragraph(b) of subsection (1) above; and such persons as are mentioned in paragraph (c) of that subsection. It may be prescribed that as from a specified date a specified part of the register shall be closed, so that on and after that date no further persons shall be registered in that part. The Scottish Ministers shall consult the Council and such other persons, or groups of persons, as they consider appropriate before making, varying or revoking an order by virtue of this section. An application for registration under this Part ... shall be made to the Council in accordance with rules made by the Council. An application under subsection (1) above shall specify— in relation to the register, each part of it in which registration is sought; and such other matters as may be required by the rules. Any person who, in an application under subsection (1) above, knowingly makes a statement which is false or misleading in a material respect shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale. An application under section 45(1) of this Act for registration under this Part may be granted either unconditionally or subject to such conditions as the Council thinks fit to impose. If the Council is satisfied that the applicant— is of good character; satisfies such requirements as to competence or conduct as the Council may by rules impose; and except where section 46B of this Act applies, either— satisfies such requirements as to education as the Council may by rules impose and has successfully completed a course of training, approved by the Council, for persons wishing to become social workers or, as the case may be, for persons wishing to become social service workers of the description in relation to which registration is sought; or in the case of an application for registration as a social service worker other than a social worker, satisfies such requirements as the Council may by rules impose in relation to social service workers of the description in relation to which registration is sought, it shall grant the application unconditionally.... Where an application is granted unconditionally— the Council shall give the applicant notice of its so granting the application; and registration shall take effect immediately on such notice being given. If the Council is not satisfied as mentioned in subsection (2), it shall— grant the application subject to such conditions as it thinks fit; or refuse the application. The Council shall give the applicant notice of its decision under subsection (2B), which shall— give the Council's reasons for the decision; and explain the right of appeal conferred by section 51 of this Act. A decision to refuse the application takes effect immediately on notice to that effect being given. Notice of a decision to grant the application subject to conditions shall state— the conditions; and that, within fourteen days after service of the notice, the applicant may make written representations to the Council concerning any matter which the applicant wishes to dispute. Subject to subsections (2G) and (2H), a decision to grant the application subject to conditions takes effect at the end of the fourteen day period mentioned in subsection (2E). Where— the applicant makes such representations as are mentioned in subsection (2E); the Council, having considered the representations, confirms the decision mentioned in subsection (2F); and no appeal is brought under section 51 of this Act, the decision takes effect on the expiry of the fourteen day period mentioned in subsection (A1) of that section for bringing such an appeal. Where an appeal against a decision mentioned in subsection (2F) is brought under section 51 of this Act (whether or not such representations as are mentioned in subsection (2E) are also made), the decision takes effect only when the appeal is finally determined or abandoned. This section applies where— the applicant has, outwith Scotland, undergone training which— is recognised by the Council as being to a standard sufficient for the applicant to be registered in the part of the register specified in the application; or is not so recognised provided that the applicant has also undergone, in Scotland or elsewhere, such additional training as the Council may by rules require. The Council may at any time give notice to a person registered under this Part ... of its decision to— vary or remove a condition for the time being in force; or impose an additional condition, in relation to the registration. A notice under subsection (1) above shall give the Council's reasons for the decision; explain the right of appeal conferred by section 51 of this Act; and state the condition as varied, the condition which is removed or (as the case may be) the additional condition imposed. A notice under section ... 47 of this Act shall state that, within fourteen days after service of the notice, the person to whom it is given may make written representations to the Council concerning any matter which that person wishes to dispute.

The Council shall, by rules made with the consent of the Scottish Ministers, determine circumstances in which, and the means by which— an entry relating to a person in the register maintained by the Council may be removed from a part in which it appears; an entry removed by virtue of paragraph (a) above may be restored to the part in question; a person’s registration in a part of that register may be suspended (and that person treated as not being registered in that part notwithstanding that the relevant entry still appears in it) for such period as the Council may specify in the case in question; a suspension by virtue of paragraph (c) above may be terminated; and an entry in a part of that register may be altered (other than in implementation of a decision of which notice is given under section 47(1) of this Act). Rules under subsection (1) above shall— make provision as to— the procedure to be followed; the standard of proof; and the rules of evidence to be observed, in proceedings brought (whether before the Council or before any committee of the Council) for the purposes of the rules; and provide for such proceedings to be in public except in such cases (if any) as the rules may specify. The Council shall maintain a register of persons who have been registered in the register maintained under section 44(1) of this Act but who, by virtue of paragraph (a) of subsection (1) above, are for the time being not so registered; and where an entry relating to a person is, by virtue of paragraph (b) of that subsection, restored, the entry relating to that person in the register maintained under this subsection shall be removed.

A notice under subsection (2) above shall— explain the right of appeal conferred by section 51 of this Act; Subject to subsection (5), a decision such as is mentioned in subsection (2) above... shall not take effect— if no appeal is brought, until the period of fourteen days after the giving of a notice under subsection (2) has elapsed; and if an appeal is brought, until that appeal is finally determined or is abandoned. A decision in accordance with rules under section 49(1) of this Act to suspend a person's registration in a part of the register maintained under section 44(1) of this Act takes effect immediately on notice of that decision being given. The Council may, by notice in writing, require a person to provide it with information. A notice under subsection (1) must specify— the information required, the timescale within which it is to be provided. Where information is not provided in accordance with a notice under subsection (1), the Council may apply to the sheriff for an order requiring the person to provide the information within such time as the sheriff may order. The sheriff may make an order under subsection (3) only if it appears to the sheriff that the information sought is relevant to the exercise of a function of the Council set out in this Part. This section does not permit or require the provision of information in breach of a prohibition or restriction on the disclosure of information arising by virtue of an enactment or rule of law. a person is given notice under subsection (2C) of section 46 of this Act of a decision to grant an application for registration under this Part subject to conditions; the person makes such representations as are mentioned in subsection (2E) of that section; and the Council confirms the decision, the person may, within fourteen days after such confirmation is given, appeal to the sheriff against the decision. a person is given notice under subsection (2C) of section 46 of this Act of a decision to grant an application for registration under this Part subject to conditions; and no representations such as are mentioned in subsection (2E) of that section are made, the person may, within fourteen days after service of the notice, appeal to the sheriff against the decision.

On an appeal under this section the sheriff may— confirm the decision; ... direct that it shall not have effect ... , or direct that it shall not have effect and make such other order as the sheriff thinks fit. The sheriff shall also have power, on such an appeal— to vary any condition which, by virtue of section 46 of this Act, is in force in respect of the person; to direct that any such condition shall cease to have effect; or to direct that a condition which the sheriff thinks fit to impose shall have effect in respect of the person. Any person who, with intent to deceive, while not registered in any relevant register as— a social worker, takes or uses the title of social worker, or purports in any other way to be a social worker; or a social service worker of such other description as may be prescribed, takes or uses the title of that description of social service worker, or purports in any other way to be a social service worker of that description, shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale. For the purposes of subsection (1) above, a register is a relevant register if it is— the register maintained by the Council under this Part; or such register as may be prescribed, being a register maintained under a provision of the law of England and Wales or of Northern Ireland which appears to the Scottish Ministers to correspond to section 44(1) of this Act. The Council shall prepare, and from time to time publish, codes of practice laying down standards of conduct and practice expected— of social service workers; or in relation to social service workers, of persons employing or seeking to employ such workers. Before publishing a code, the Council shall— obtain the consent of the Scottish Ministers to the provisions of that code; and consult Social Care and Social Work Improvement Scotland, any person, or group of persons, prescribed by the Scottish Ministers and any other person, or group of persons, the Council considers it appropriate to consult. The Council shall keep the codes under review and shall vary the provisions of a code whenever, after such consultation, it considers it appropriate to do so. A social service worker shall, so far as relevant, have regard to any code published under subsection (1) by the Council. An employer of a social service worker, or a person seeking to employ such workers, shall, so far as relevant, have regard to any code published under subsection (1) by the Council. The employer of a social service worker shall, in making any decision which relates to the conduct of that worker, take into account any code published under subsection (1) above by the Council. The Council shall give a copy of a code so published to any person who requests such copy. The Scottish Ministers may give directions (of a general or specific nature) to— the persons mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b) of subsection (1); the Council, in relation to any code so published; and such directions must be complied with. The Scottish Ministers may vary or revoke any direction given under subsection (6). The Council shall promote education and training for persons who are, or wish to become— social workers; or social service workers of any other description specified in the rules, and in particular may, in accordance with rules made by it, approve courses for such persons. An approval given under subsection (1) above may be either unconditional or subject to such conditions as the Council thinks fit. If it appears to the Council that adequate provision is not being made for further education or training for persons registered in any part of the register maintained by it, the Council shall provide, or secure the provision of, courses for such further education or training. The Council may— conduct, or make arrangements for the conduct of, examinations or assessments in connection with such courses as are mentioned in this section; and carry out, or assist other persons in carrying out, research into matters relevant to such education or training (or further education or training) as is so mentioned. Subject to subsections (2) to (4) below, the Council may, upon such terms and subject to such conditions as it considers appropriate— make grants; and pay travelling and other allowances, to persons resident in Scotland, in order to secure their education or training in, or education for training in, the work of social service workers. The Council shall not make grants or pay allowances under subsection (1) above except for such purposes as the Scottish Ministers may direct. The Scottish Ministers may by directions specify terms and conditions subject to which the Council is to make such grants or pay such allowances. Without prejudice to the generality of subsections (2) and (3) above, directions under those subsections may specify— the courses for which, and the categories of students to whom, under subsection (1) above, grants may be made and allowances paid; maximum amounts to be spent— on such grants and allowances; and on such grants and allowances to any individual; and the procedures for accounting for expenditure on such grants and allowances. The Council may make grants to organisations providing such courses as are approved by it under section 54(1) of this Act. Regulations may— confer additional functions on the Council in relation to— the regulation of persons employed in the provision of care services; or the education or training of persons in respect of whom it maintains a register under section 44(1) of this Act; and require the Council to secure that, on such conditions, in such circumstances and on the payment of such fees as may be specified in the regulations, any person shall be afforded access to, and provided with a copy of an entry in or with an extract from, a register kept by the Council. Before the Scottish Ministers make regulations under subsection (1) above, they shall consult such persons, or groups of persons, as they consider appropriate. With the consent of the Scottish Ministers, the Council may by rules make provision about the registration of persons under this Part and, in particular— as to the keeping of the register maintained by it; as to the documentary and other evidence to be produced by a person applying for— registration; additional qualifications to be recorded; or an entry in that register to be altered or restored; or subject to any rules made under section 49 of this Act, for a person’s registration to remain effective without limitation of time or— to lapse after such period, or in such a case; or to be subject to renewal in such manner and at such time, as the rules may provide. With the consent of the Scottish Ministers and subject to any regulations made under section 56(1)(b) of this Act, the Council may by rules make provision for the payment of reasonable fees to it in connection with the discharge of its functions; and without prejudice to that generality the rules may in particular make provision— for the payment of such fees in connection with— registration under this Part (including applications for registration or for amendment of the register maintained by it); the approval by it, under this Part, of courses of education or training; the provision of education or training; and the provision of copies of codes published by it or copies of entries in, or of extracts from, that register; and requiring persons registered under this Part to pay a periodic fee to it of such amount, and at such time, as the rules may specify. With the consent of the Scottish Ministers, the Council may by rules require persons registered in any part of the register maintained by it to attend a course of education or undertake further training and may in particular make provision with respect to persons who fail to comply with any requirement of such rules, including provision for their registration to cease or be suspended. Before making, or varying, any rules by virtue of subsection (3) above, the Council shall take such steps as are reasonably practicable to consult the persons who are registered in the relevant part of the register and such other persons as the Council considers appropriate. With the consent of the Scottish Ministers, the Council may by rules make provision— about the content of, and methods of completing, courses approved by it under section 54(1) of this Act; as to the lapse, renewal and withdrawal of such approvals; as to the provision to the Council of information about such courses; as to the persons who may participate in such courses, or in such parts of those courses as are specified in the rules; as to the number of persons who may participate in such courses or parts of courses; and for the award by the Council of certificates of the successful completion of such courses. With the consent of the Scottish Ministers, the Council may by rules make provision for the visiting of places at which or institutions by which or under whose direction— any relevant course (or part of such course) is, or is proposed to be, given; or any examination is, or is proposed to be, held in connection with any such course. Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (6) above, rules under that subsection may make provision for— the appointment of visitors; and reports to be made by visitors on— the nature and quality of the instruction given, or to be given; and the facilities provided, or to be provided, at the place, or by the institution, visited. In subsection (6)(a) above, “relevant course” means— any course for which approval by the Council has been given, or is being sought, under section 54(1) of this Act; or any course of education or further training provided for persons registered in any part of the register maintained by the Council. The power of the Council to make rules under this Part may be exercised— in relation to— all cases to which the power extends; all except such cases as are specified in the rules; or any specified cases or class of case; and so as to make, as respects the cases in relation to which it is exercised— the same provision for all; different provision for different cases or classes of case; or as respects the same case or class of case, different provision for different purposes. Before making, or varying, any rules by virtue of any of subsections (1), (2), (5) and (6) above, the Council shall consult such persons, or groups of persons, as it considers appropriate. The employer of a social service worker shall— on dismissing the social service worker on grounds of misconduct; or on the social service worker resigning or abandoning the worker's position in circumstances where, but for the resignation or abandonment— the worker would have been dismissed on grounds of misconduct; or dismissal on such grounds would have been considered by the employer, forthwith notify the Council of the dismissal, resignation or abandonment; and the employer shall in doing so provide the Council with an account of the circumstances which led to the dismissal or which were present when the resignation or abandonment took place. The Scottish Ministers shall have the functions of— ascertaining what numbers of— social workers; and social service workers of other descriptions, are required within Scotland; ascertaining what education or training is required by persons who are, or wish to become, social service workers; ascertaining what financial and other assistance is required for promoting such training; encouraging the provision of such assistance; and drawing up occupational standards for such workers. The Scottish Ministers shall encourage persons to take part— in courses approved under section 54(1) of this Act by the Council; and in other courses relevant to the education or training of persons who are, or wish to become, social service workers. The Scottish Ministers may, if it appears to them that adequate provision is not being made for the education or training of persons who are, or wish to become, social service workers, provide, or secure the provision of, courses for that purpose. Any function of the Scottish Ministers under this section (to such extent as they choose) — may be delegated by them to the Council; or may be exercised by any person, or by employees of any person, authorised to do so by the Scottish Ministers. For the purpose of determining— the terms and effect of an authorisation under subsection (4)(b) above; and the effect of so much of any contract made between the Scottish Ministers and the authorised person as relates to the exercise of the function, Part II of the Deregulation and Contracting Out Act 1994 (c.40) shall have effect as if the authorisation were given by virtue of an order under section 69 of that Act. In subsection (4)(b) above, “employee” has the same meaning as in the said Part II. The Scottish Ministers ... and the Council shall exercise their functions under this Act in accordance with the principles set out in the following subsections. The safety and welfare of all persons who use, or are eligible to use, care services are to be protected and enhanced. The independence of those persons is to be promoted. Diversity in the provision of care services is to be promoted with a view to those persons being afforded choice. In subsection (2), “care service” means a care service as defined in section 47(1) of the Public Services Reform (Scotland) Act 2010 (asp 8). The Scottish Ministers may make grants to ... the Council towards expenses incurred, or to be incurred, by it in connection with— the initial establishment of the Council; and the discharge by the Council of its functions. Any grant made under subsection (1) above may be made on such terms and subject to such conditions (including conditions as to repayment) as the Scottish Ministers think fit; and the Scottish Ministers may from time to time after the grant is made vary such terms and conditions. The Scottish Ministers may guarantee, in such manner and on such conditions as they think fit, the discharge of any financial obligation in connection with any sum which ... the Council borrows from any person. Where the Scottish Ministers give a guarantee under this section they shall forthwith lay a statement of the guarantee before the Parliament. Where any sum is paid out in fulfilment of a guarantee under this section, the Scottish Ministers shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of each financial year (beginning with that in which the sum is paid out and ending with that in which all liability in respect of the principal of the sum and in respect of interest on it is finally discharged), lay before the Parliament a statement relating to that sum. Where any sum is paid out in fulfilment of a guarantee under this section, ... the Council, shall make to the Scottish Ministers, at such times and in such manner as they may from time to time direct— payments of such amounts as they may so direct in or towards repayment of the sum so paid out; and payment of interest, at such rate as they may so direct, on what is outstanding for the time being in respect of that sum. The ... Council shall ..., in the exercise of its functions, consult Social Care and Social Work Improvement Scotland in every case in which it appears to the Council appropriate that there should be such consultation. The Scottish Ministers shall issue guidelines to ... the Council as to the fulfilment, by the Council, of any requirement under this Act to consult any person or group of persons. The Council shall establish a procedure by which a person, or someone acting on a person’s behalf, may make complaints (or other representations) in relation to the exercise by the Council of, or failure by it to exercise, any of its functions under this Act in respect of the person. Before establishing a procedure under subsection (1) above, the Council shall consult the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman on its proposals for such a procedure .... The Council shall keep the procedure so established by it under review and shall vary that procedure whenever, after such consultation, it considers it appropriate to do so. The Council shall give such publicity to that procedure (including that procedure as varied under subsection (3) above) as it considers appropriate and shall give a copy of the procedure to any person who requests it. The Scottish Ministers may cause an inquiry to be held into any matter connected with— the exercise ... by the Council of its functions; or The Council may cause an inquiry to be held into any matter connected with the exercise of its functions. Before there is commenced an inquiry— under subsection (1) above, the Scottish Ministers; under subsection (3) above, the Council, may direct that it be held in private; but where no such direction has been given the person holding the inquiry may if that person thinks fit hold it, or any part of it, in private. Subsections (2) to (8) of section 210 of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 (c.65) (provisions relating to local inquiries) shall apply in relation to an inquiry under subsection (1) above as they apply in relation to a local inquiry under that section. Subsections (2) to (6) of that section shall apply in relation to an inquiry under subsection ... (3) above as they apply in relation to such a local inquiry; except that, for the purposes of an inquiry under— subsection (3) above, any such reference in those subsections shall be construed as a reference to the Council or, as the case may be, to an officer of the Council. The expenses incurred ... by the Council in relation to an inquiry under subsection (3) above (including such reasonable sum as the Council may determine for the services of any of its officers engaged in the inquiry) shall, unless the Council is of the opinion that those expenses should be defrayed in whole or in part by it, be paid by such party to the inquiry as it may direct; and the Council may certify the amount of the expenses so incurred. Any sum certified under subsection (7) above and to be defrayed in accordance with a direction under that subsection shall be a debt due by the party directed and shall be recoverable accordingly. In relation to an inquiry under— subsection (3) above, the Council, may make an award as to the expenses of the parties and as to the parties by whom such expenses shall be paid. The Central Council for Education and Training in Social Work shall cease to exercise in relation to Scotland the functions conferred on it by or under section 10 of the Health and Social Services and Social Security Adjudications Act 1983 (c.41). The Scottish Ministers may make grants to persons who— to any extent, undertake or engage in activities which relate to— the protection or care, under or by virtue of the Social Work (Scotland) Act 1968 (c.49) ... the Children (Scotland) Act 1995 (c.36) or the Children’s Hearings (Scotland) Act 2011 (asp 1), of children; or the provision of support, under or by virtue of any of those Acts, to families; or propose to undertake or engage in such activities to any extent. The Scottish Ministers may make the payment of a grant in pursuance of subsection (1) above subject to such conditions and requirements (including a requirement that the whole or any part of the grant be repaid) as they think fit. In section 10 of the Social Work (Scotland) Act 1968 (c.49) (financial and other assistance to voluntary organisations etc. for social work)— after subsection (1) there is inserted— The Scottish Ministers may make grants and loans of such amounts, and subject to such conditions, as they may determine to a voluntary organisation engaged as is mentioned in subsection (1) above to enable that organisation (in this section referred to as the “primary organisation”) to make grants and loans (in this section referred to as “secondary grants and loans”) to other voluntary organisations, or other persons, so engaged, in circumstances where it appears to the primary organisation that the secondary grants and loans should be made; and the Scottish Ministers may require that any secondary grant be subject to such conditions (including conditions for securing the repayment in whole or in part of that grant) as they may specify. and in subsection (2), for the words “under the foregoing subsection" there is substituted “ by the Scottish Ministers under subsection (1) or (1A) above ”. In section 50 of the Children Act 1975 (c.72) (which empowers a local authority to make payments for or towards the maintenance of a child under sixteen who is residing with and being cared for, other than as a foster child, by a person other than the parent of the child), for the word “sixteen" there is substituted “ eighteen ”. A local authority shall have power to provide and maintain such accommodation as is mentioned in subsection (1) of section 13A of the Social Work (Scotland) Act 1968 (c.49) (residential accommodation with nursing); and accordingly— in that subsection— after the word “shall" there is inserted the following paragraph— provide and maintain; after that paragraph there is inserted the word “ or ”; and the existing words “make such arrangements as they consider appropriate and adequate for the provision of" become paragraph (b); in subsection (2) of that section, the word “The", where it first occurs, is repealed; and in section 59(1) of that Act (provision of residential and other establishments by local authorities etc.), for the words “Subject to" there are substituted the words “ Without prejudice to their duties under ”. In section 29 of the Children (Scotland) Act 1995 (c.36) (after-care for persons who have been looked after by local authorities)— in subsection (3), at the beginning there is inserted “ Subject to section 73(2) of the Regulation of Care (Scotland) Act 2001 (asp 8), ”; after subsection (4) there is added— It is the duty of each local authority, in relation to any person to whom they have a duty under subsection (1) above or who makes an application under subsection (2) above, to carry out an assessment of the person’s needs. Each local authority shall establish a procedure for considering representations (including complaints) made to them by any person mentioned in subsection (1) or (2) above about the discharge of their functions under the provisions of subsections (1) to (5) above. In subsection (1) above, the reference to having been “looked after by a local authority" shall be construed as including having been looked after by a local authority in England and Wales; and subsection (4) of section 105 of the Children Act 1989 (c.41) (construction of references to a child looked after by a local authority) shall apply for the purposes of this subsection as it applies for the purposes of that Act (“local authority in England and Wales” being construed in accordance with subsection (1) of that section).
