Goverment Proposals for Regulating Care Workers
Enabling Excellence - Autonomy and Accountability for Healthcare Workers, Social Workers and Social Care Workers
Enabling Excellence - Autonomy and Accountability for Healthcare Workers, Social Workers and Social Care Workers
Presented to Parliament by the Secretary of State for Healthby Command of Her Majesty
February 2011
(Extract from the Foreword)
"This Command Paper therefore sets out our proposals for how the system for regulating healthcare workers across the UK and social workers in England should be reformed to sustain and develop the high professional standards of those practitioners and to continue to assure the safety of those using services and the rest of the public. ‘Reducing Regulation Made Simple’
sets out the wider Coalition Government commitment to reducing regulation to encourage sustainable economic growth and increase personal freedom and fairness. The reforms set out in this Command Paper will therefore give greater independence to those who work in health care across the UK and social care in England, to their employers, and to the health professions regulatory bodies, balanced by more effective accountability for how they exercise that freedom. In doing so they will also provide more effective assurance of the quality of unregulated staff."
