Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, which apply to England only, amend certain Regulations made under the Care Standards Act 2000 in respect of domiciliary care agencies and nurses agencies.
Regulation 2 of these Regulations amends the Domiciliary Care Agencies Regulations 2002 so that the person registered in respect of a domiciliary care agency ensures that the information to be available in relation to domiciliary care workers includes a criminal record certificate issued under the Police Act 1997.
By regulation 2(3), this requirement does not apply until 31st October 2004 to domiciliary care workers supplied by the agency between 1st October 2002 and 30th September 2003.
Regulation 3 of these Regulations amends the Nurses Agencies Regulations 2002 so that the person registered in respect of a nurses agency ensures that the information to be available in relation to nurses includes a criminal record certificate issued under the Police Act 1997. By regulation 3(2) this requirement does not apply to nurses supplied by the agency between 1st October 2002 and 30th September 2003.
Regulation 4 of these Regulations amends the National Care Standards Commission (Registration Regulations) 2001 so that a person who applies to be registered under the Care Standards Act 2000 as a person who carries on a domiciliary care agency or nurses agency must provide to the Commission a statement confirming that a criminal record certificate has been issued to staff who work, or are intended to work, at the agency. The amendment applies to applications for registration made on or after 1st October 2003.
