Register hereOther requirements
If domiciliary care deputy managers are working with both adults and children, it is the employers’ responsibility to make sure the manager has undertaken the appropriate qualification units for adults and children, and that they have the knowledge, understanding and skills needed for their role.
Service regulations require that “the service provider must ensure that at all times a sufficient number of suitably qualified, trained, skilled, competent and experienced staff are deployed to work at the service”.
The suitable qualifications are included on this framework.
Qualifications gained outside of Wales
For registration as a manager:
Contact us if you have a query related to registration using another UK qualification.
For registration as a worker:
Workers moving to Wales who hold a qualification recognised by Skills for Care (England), the Northern Ireland Social Care Council or Scottish Social Service Council should complete aspects of the All Wales induction framework for health and social care that are relevant to their role and the service setting.
Induction requirements
It is the responsibility of employers and the service provider to make sure everyone working at the service receives an induction that’s appropriate to their role – this includes managers. This is expected to be robust and accessible to prepare them for new and changing roles and responsibilities.
It is also expected that all new managers will receive The Social Care Manager – practice guidance for social care managers registered with Social Care Wales as part of their induction, along with the Code of Practice for Social Care Employers.
Continuing professional development CPD (previously known as PRTL)
All registered persons are required to complete a total of 45 hours’ CPD for each three-year period of registration.
