The Scottish Social Services Council (Appointments, Procedure and Access to the Register) Amendment Regulations 2010
These Regulations amend the Scottish Social Services Council (Appointments, Procedure and Access to the Register) Regulations 2001 (S.S.I.2001/303) (“the principal Regulations”). The principal Regulations permit the disclosure of information relating to a person suspended from the register maintained by the Scottish Social Services Council (the SSSC) but also give the SSSC discretion to withhold information about the address of a person if disclosing such information could be considered to cause danger to that person. These Regulations extend the discretion of the SSSC to withhold information regarding any removals or suspensions from the register if disclosing such information could be considered to cause danger to the person to whom the entry relates.
