The act builds on the success of regulation in Wales and reflects the changing world of social care. It places service quality and improvement at the heart of the regulatory regime and strengthens protection for those who need it. Regulation will move beyond compliance with minimum standards, and focus more on the quality of services and the impact which they have on people receiving them.
**Provides information and training resources to help social care professionals implement both the Social Service and Well-being (Wales) Act and the Regulation and Inspection of Social Care (Wales) Act. Under the banner of ‘Getting in on the Act’, the Hub has been developed by the Care Council and partners. It is part of an initiative to develop a national learning and development plan to support the full implementation of Welsh social care legislation. The hub provides an on-line ‘one-stop-shop’ where a number of resources in different formats can be accessed.
