Rebecca Evans, minister for social services and public health, has released an update report on the implementation of the Regulation and Inspection of Social Care (Wales) Act 2016.

In a statement to the Welsh Assembly, the minister explained that the report highlighted key changes to workforce-related regulations including:

• Clarifying the circumstances in which student social care workers must be registered.
• Clarifying that a ‘finding of fact’ will not be made in interim order proceedings, whether before an interim orders panel or a fitness to practise panel.
• Amending the constitution of panel regulations to provide more clarity on who may not serve as a panel member.
