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.

Kentucky Fried Seagull

Hugh Fearnley Whitingstall is one of my favourite - and endearingly bonkers - TV chefs. The River Cottage chef has a some imaginative ideas for adding seagulls to the national diet - including a recipe for Kentucky Fried Seagull - would you believe. Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn't... P

What a complete hoot - these hypocrites have no shame! Peter Murrell  @PeterMurrell "Anonymous political donations supposed to be a thing of the past. Yet Scottish Tories pocketed £319,000 from secretive trust with no fixed address or known current trustees. @Conservatives legally responsible for checking true identity of donors before accepting cash. #DarkMoney "
