| Annotation | The Care Standards Act 2000 is designed to bring about fundamental changes in the management of residential care homes for older people, with the creation of the National Care Standards Commission (NCSC) and the Care Standards Tribunal. This handbook is aimed at care home managers and related social work professionals. It outlines the new regulatory framework under the Act, the specific duties of the NCSC, the Care Homes Regulations 2002, and the National Minimum Standards. Other chapters consider: the role of local authorities in the provision of residential accommodation; the provision of nursing care; the impact of the Human Rights Act 1998 on care homes; complaints procedures, rights of appeal and the Care Homes Tribunal; and staff employment and training.
