Published requirement description

Social Care Wales is the regulator of the social care workforce in Wales. That means we register practitioners, set standards of practice and make sure workers are fit to practise. We are also responsible for developing and improving the workforce, improving services, setting priorities for research and gathering data. We are funded by the Welsh Government.

We have been commissioned by Welsh Government to develop learning programmes that will meet the requirements of the Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS) when they are implemented.

Within the proposed regulations and codes of practice there are 6 identified competency groups which will require differing levels of competency in terms of knowledge and application of the new procedures.

CPV: E-learning services · Education and training services · Research and development services and related consultancy services · Training programme services
