Review of Codes of Practice in Wales

Help us review our codes of professional practice and practice guidance

We’re making changes to our codes of professional practice for workers and employers, practice guidance and fitness to practise principles to make sure they’re right for those working in the social care sector in Wales. This includes the Code of Practice for Social Care Employers.

To help us do this, we want the sector to tell us what they think of the resources including how they currently use them, if they’re still fit for purpose and what could be improved.

We’ll use this feedback to put together a consultation about our proposed changes, which we’ll share in 2024, with a view to making any changes in 2025.

We’ve commissioned an external company called Urban Foresight to help us gain valuable feedback from the social care sector about the resources.

We’d appreciate it if you could share the links below with your networks to help us reach as wide an audience as possible.

People can share their views by:

• filling in this survey to tell us what they think of the resources including how they currently use them, whether they’re fit for purpose and what could be improved; or
• joining one of our focus groups to share their thoughts about the resources

Focus groups are aimed at registered workers and social care employers.

Attending a session will count towards an hour of your continuous professional development (CPD) if you’re registered with Social Care Wales.
