Have your say on RISCA regulations

Care Forum Wales – Mary WimburyThe Welsh Government has launched phase two of its consultation on the implementation of the Regulation and Inspection of Social Care (RISCA) Act. The RISCA regulations will replace the National Minimum Standards and the consultation is open until July 25.

"We will be responding on behalf of members and will email out a copy of our contribution. Let us know if there is something that will affect your business that we haven't covered.”

Four half-day information events for stakeholders (places limited) will be held on June 21 in Cardiff and July 13 in Wrexham. To register your interest in attending, please contact RISCAct2016@wales.gsi.gov.uk by Friday, June 2.
