AnnotationBy virtue of the Care Standards Act 2000 (Establishments and and Agencies) Regulations 2004, the government claims to have addressed, in part, the complaint that obtaining a CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) Disclosure before a care worker begins working has been a hurdle to timely recruitment. The Regulations amend, in significant ways, the Care Homes Regulations 2001, and also amend the Domiciliary Care Agencies Regulations 2002. However, there are concerns that in the "real world", the changes will do little, if anything, to ease delays in the recruitment process. (rh).
