The Scottish Social Services Council publishes information on those undertaking qualifications relevant to work in the social service sector. This data is to help support workforce planning.
There are two main SVQ frameworks that are relevant to people working in care services. One is Social Services and Healthcare which is aimed primarily at those working in adult social care services. The other is Children and Young People which is aimed mainly at those working in day care for children and residential child care services. All of the SVQs are benchmark qualifications for workforce registration.
The tables published below present SVQ provision data separately for the two frameworks and cover the period 2019 to 2024. Data on the numbers of modern apprenticeships (MAs) within each framework is also provided including the proportion of SVQ activity made up by MAs.
