Changes to registration in Wales - consultation

Social Care Wales are consulting on changes to the registration process which include:

• introducing a new way to register, which will allow a social care worker to register as a social care manager without a level 3 qualification, if they can demonstrate sufficient managerial experience and commit to achieving the level 4 and level 5 qualifications within three years of registering.
• it is proposed that social care workers who are required to complete the level 2 or level 3 qualification listed in the qualification framework within the first three-year period of registration, will now have up to six years (over two three year periods of registration) to complete the qualification(s).
