| AdminHistory | The Central Council for Education and Training in Social Work (CCETSW) was, from 1971 to 2001, the statutory authority charged with promoting education and training in social work, recognising courses and awarding qualifications throughout the United Kingdom. It replaced the Council for Training in Social Work (CTSW) which had been established in 1962.
On 1 October 2001, the CCETSW was abolished and its functions taken over by the General Social Care Council (GSCC), the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC), the Care Council for Wales (CCW), and the Northern Ireland Social Care Council (NISCC). On 31 July 2012 it closed, and the regulation of social workers was taken over by the Health Professions Council HPC, which was renamed the Health and Care Professions Council HCPC to reflect its expanded role. The GSCC's sister organisations in the other countries of the United Kingdom – the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC), the Care Council for Wales (in Welsh: Cyngor Gofal Cymru) (CCW or CGC), and the Northern Ireland Social Care Council – continued to exist with their functions intact. |
