GCC Says: Pay Up - In Full and On Time

 

Care staff in Glasgow City Council are being warned that they may be disciplined if they fail to pay their annual registration fees on time to the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC).

Meanwhile a senior SNP councillor, Cllr Rhiannon Spear, fails to pay her council tax - yet gets to keep her job and enhanced salary as the council's Chair of Education.



 

Important Message regarding SSSC Registration

 

For the attention of all Social Work Staff within Glasgow City HSCP

Dear Colleagues,

This is a message to all employees and  managers who are required to hold SSSC registration.  Please read and note the contents. 

Removal notifications / failure to pay fees 

SSSC has now incorporated a final removal notice process. As such, the registrant will receive notification via email from SSSC advising them that they have failed to make payment within the required timescales. If the fee remains outstanding after 14 days, they will be removed from the Register.

Managers will also receive a copy of the email and are instructed to raise this with the individuals.

I cannot stress enough, the importance and responsibility placed on registered workers to ensure that they are appropriately registered; this includes processing renewal applications and paying annual fees within the required timescales.

Failure to maintain registration has a significant detrimental impact on service delivery, and as such, the consequences of this may include the implementation of formal proceedings in line with Glasgow City Council’s Disciplinary & Appeals procedures. 

Selecting Endorsers for applications 

I also want to remind employees of the correct endorsers of applications.  Applications sent to other staff will not be progressed and will result in a delay in processing your application.

Select based on your work location in the City, as follows:

  • North West - Linda Cassells
  • North East - John Leese or Gordon Mackay
  • South - Leigh O’Hara or Stewart Tees
  • Centre Based services may select any of the above endorsers. 

Managers of  new recruits must ensure these staff are also aware of this.

LGB Rights - Hijacked By Intolerant Zealots!

Now that we're a month away from the month formerly known as June, we can think about what's happened. Given the new events being rolled out in London, Manchester and across the States, I think this sums up the *erm* transition of Pride.

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

Image
So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'.
