SOCIAL CARE, WALES

These Regulations are made partly under the Care Standards Act 2000 (“the 2000 Act”) and partly under the Adoption and Children Act 2002 (“the 2002 Act”). The 2000 Act established a new regulatory system for care services in Wales; section 8(3) of the 2002 Act amends the 2000 Act with the effect that a person cannot carry on or manage an adoption support agency without being registered under Part 2 of the 2000 Act. The 2002 Act provides powers for the National Assembly for Wales, as the registration authority, to regulate adoption support agencies. An agency applying to the registration authority for registration under the 2000 Act will have to demonstrate compliance with these Regulations. The registration authority is the National Assembly for Wales.
