Care Standards Legislation Handbook

This fifth edition of the Care Standards Legislation Handbook presents, in fully updated form, all the legislation most needed by those involved in the workings of the regulatory systems and appeals processes for care services in England and Wales. The work has been substantially revised and expanded to provide an extensive and updated library containing the Child Care Act 2006, the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006, other key statutory provisions, the relevant recent statutory instruments including the Protection of Children and Vulnerable Adults and Care Standards Tribunal (Review of Disqualification Orders) Regulations 2006, and a jurisdiction table. This is an invaluable resource for all practitioners from the many and varied disciplines working in the field of care standards who need to understand the principles and duties underpinning the care regime.
