(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations are made under the Care Standards Act 2000 (“the Act”) and apply in relation to Wales. The Welsh Ministers are the registration authority in relation to Wales for the purposes of Part 2 of the Act.
Section 30A(2) of the Act provides that the registration authority must notify all local authorities in England and Wales as soon as practicable if they take any of the actions specified in section 30A(2) against a person ('P') carrying on or managing an establishment or agency specified in section 30A(6) (these are children’s homes, residential family centres, fostering agencies, voluntary adoption agencies, adoption support agencies and providers of social work services). The information to be included in those notifications is set out in regulation 2.
Section 30A(3) provides for further notifications in relation to P to be sent when the registration authority becomes aware of the prescribed circumstances. Regulation 3 prescribes the circumstances.
