Hello everyone,
Many of us who are service users have very practical experience of some of the trials and tribulations of working with social care workers, from social workers to care assistants. In the UK the government is putting into place ways of regulating this workforce and has set up new bodies to do this. One of these is the General Social Care Council.
One of its first developments is to publish Codes of Conduct. On 9th January a three-month consultation on the draft codes was launched. I feel that responses from disabled people are very important and am very much concerned that anyone who has time should firstly know this is happening, and if possible make a response.
The Draft Codes and information about how you take part can be accessed at www.codes-consultation.co.uk
