Have your say on RISCA regulations
The 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.
Mary Wimbury, senior policy adviser for CFW, said: “This change really will have a major impact on businesses in the social care sector.
"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.
The consultation is available here. The Minister for Social Services and Public Health has issued a written statement which is available here.
