(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations revoke The Children Act 1989 (Amendment of Miscellaneous Regulations) (Wales) Regulations 2009 which contained drafting errors.
The Children Act 2004 extended the meaning of “organisation” in the Children Act 1989 to include an unincorporated association. These Regulations make amendments to the Childminding and Day Care (Wales) Regulations 2002 and the Registration of Social Care and Independent Health Care (Wales) Regulations 2002 to give administrative effect to that amendment. They also amend the schedule of documents and information that an applicant for registration is required to provide where a person has been appointed to be in charge of day care.
