Care Standards Legislation Handbook: Sixth Edition

This sixth edition of the Care Standards Legislation Handbook collects and presents in fully-updated form all the UK legislation most needed by those involved in the workings of the regulatory systems, and the 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 UK's Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006, other key statutory provisions, all relevant recent statutory instruments, and a jurisdiction table. Care Standards Legislation Handbook is an invaluable resource for practitioners from the many and varied disciplines working in the field of care standards who need to understand the UK principles and duties underpinning the care regime.
