| Annotation | This 7th 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 Any sections or sub-sections which have been repealed have been omitted, while included are prospective amendments or repeals.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 being implemented in 2009 is the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006: the Independent Safeguarding Authority manages the list of those unsuitable to work with vulnerable adults. Also included are the General Social Care Council (Conduct) Rules 2008 and the General Social Care Council (Registration) Rules 2008. The introduction notes the establishment under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 of the Care Quality Commission (CQC) which started to operate on 1 April 2009. As with previous editions, material specific to Wales is excluded. All decisions of the Tribunal Service, Care Standards 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). (RH). |
