The Registered Home (Amendment) act which came into force in April 1993 required all small homes with fewer than four residents to be registered. This included family placements which offer vulnerable adults either short or long-term accommodation. Carol Robinson and Ken Simons conducted two national surveys of opinion on the impact of the act: one of the registration officers who deal with small home (ROs), the other of adult placement officers (APOs). The findings reveal that these two groups of professionals see the new legislation, and its good and bad effects, very differently.

Argues that there is a need to review the Registered Homes Act 1984. Most within the residential care sector favour common minimum standards but there is some need for co-ordination and collaboration between agencies with different inspection powers. National standards might help to ensure a more uniform treatment of proprietors though they would restrict local discretion.

The results of a survey by Care Weekly and the National Association of Inspection and Registration Officers (NAIRO) are reported. SSDs are well prepared for legislation whose powers they have little faith in.

The regulation and inspection of care services have changed fundamentally. The Care Standards Act 2000 will have an impact on all organizations providing residential and domiciliary care across the public and independent sector. New requirements include: new criteria for registration; new register of all social care staff; new training requirements; measures to protect vulnerable adults; and national minimum standards. This guide, aimed at housing and care professionals, outlines the new system and the implications this will have for services to adults. It presents the background and rationale behind the new Act, previews the new regulations and structure of the new institutions, and provides a guide to the law.
