SSSC Fitness to Practise Data Snapshot Report 2024/25 

This report is a snapshot of our fitness to practise information from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025 and, in most cases, we’ve included previous years for comparison. This is our second fitness to practise report which we will publish annually to build a long-term picture. 

The report shows that the majority of the 175,672 people on our Register practise safely, effectively and are doing a great job. We only need to investigate a minority of people. On average, 1.03% of registered workers are investigated each year and in 2024/25 there were 139 decisions made to remove people from the Register. 

Other data in the report shows the average time to close a referral decreased to 5.05 months in 2024/2025, down from 5.42 months in 2023/24 and the number of hearings held increased to 169 in 2024/25, compared to 148 in 2023/24. The number of workers represented at hearings increased slightly and the advice line for employers saw an average of 62 calls per month in 2024/25, providing crucial support and guidance.

This information, alongside our other data and intelligence, will identify trends, opportunities and challenges which will contribute to key policy development and decision making for the sector.
