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.
