Sector Engagement on the Codes of Practice for Social Care Employers and Workers, Practice Guidance

Notice Description

IntroductionSocial Care Wales is the regulator of the social care workforce in Wales. That means we register practitioners, set standards of practice, and make sure workers are fit to practise. We are also responsible for developing and improving the workforce, improving services, and supporting people to use research and data. We are funded by the Welsh Government.The Code of Professional Practice for Social Care Employers and the Code of Professional Practice for Social Care Workers underpin the regulatory work of Social Care Wales. They are reinforced by the improvement and development department through their work and are embedded throughout the suite of health and social care qualifications, the learning outcomes of the social work degree and the recently launched health and wellbeing framework cross reference the codes. For a user of care and support the Code of Professional Practice for Social Care Workers also sets out what they can expect from the people providing their care and support.Alongside the codes, there is Practice Guidance relevant to all registered roles. This describes what is expected of a registered person in that role and aims to support workers to deliver good care and support. The Practice Guidance builds on the Code of Professional Practice for Social Care Workers. The Practice Guidance is not enforceable but used to provide further information around certain elements of the code and practice.The Fitness to Practise Principles are currently an internal document used by the Fitness to Practise Team when making recommendations about cases related to registered social care workers.
