About Us

The South African Council for Social Service Professions (SACSSP/Council) is a statutory body established in terms of section 2 of the Social Service Professions Act 110 of 1978 (the Act). On the basis of the Act’s provisions, Council’s comprehensive role is to be the determining, guiding and directing authority body within the structure of social service professions in South Africa. Council fulfills this role by setting the standards for education and training of practitioners and by taking policy resolutions as guidelines for the practicing of the social service professions under its auspices. Council has two Professional Boards under its auspices: the Professional Board for Social Work and the Professional Board for Child and Youth Care Work.

The present Act has undergone a number of amendments since 1978. The date is indeed pre-democracy, but major amendments were effected post-1994. This section provides a brief overview of the journey of the Social Service Professions Act 110 of 1978.

After the Committee of Inquiry into Separate Legislation for the Social Work Profession (the Auret Committee) had completed its report on 7 July 1976, a further 18 months elapsed before draft legislation was ready for submission to Parliament during its 1978 session. The 1978 Act provided for the establishment of a South African Council for Social Work, and to define its powers and functions; for the registration of social workers, student social workers and social auxiliary workers; for control over the profession of social work; and for incidental matters.  Read More
