| Annotation | This 6th edition brings together the texts (without annotation) of the Care Standards Act 2000 (as amended by subsequent legislation), and related statutes and statutory instruments (SIs) with regard to the regulatory system (and appeal processes) for England and Wales set up under the Act. Any sections or sub-sections which have been repealed have been omitted, while included are prospective amendments or repeals. Among legislation currently being implemented is the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006. Also included are the General Social Care Council (Conduct) Rules 2003 and the General Social Care Council (Registration) Rules 2005. However, the GSCC is conducting a review of both these Rules, and any amendments can be viewed on its website (ww.gscc.org.uk). The introduction notes that the Health and Social Care Bill establishing a single regulator for Health and Adult Social Care is currently going through Parliament. As with previous editions, material specific to Wales is excluded: further information about Welsh materials is available from the Secretariat of the Care Standards Tribunal. All decisions of the Tribunal are placed on its website (www.carestandardstribunal.gov.uk), where there is also a digest of cases. Decisions are also reported on the British and Irish Legal Information website (www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCST). This edition sets out the statutory material as at February 2007. (RH). |
