Care Council for Wales responds to DoH announcement about GSCC
The Care Council for Wales has noted yesterday's announcement by the Department of Health on the future arrangements of regulation of social workers in England.
Responding to the announcement, Arwel Ellis Owen, Chair of the Care Council said, "This announcement marks a change in the arrangements for regulation of social workers in England. The Care Council will continue to work with colleagues in England and in Scotland and Northern Ireland to make sure the regulation of social workers and social care workers is robust in order to maintain a safe and skilled workforce."
He added, "In Wales, the Independent Commission established last year by Gwenda Thomas AM, Deputy Minister for Social Services, is tasked with looking at the future provision of social services and social care in Wales . Its findings will feed into the recently announced White Paper on the future arrangements for social services over the next decade which will be published in the new year. That will include the future arrangements for regulation and improvement of services and arrangements for the workforce in Wales."
