Changes to Social Work England’s regulatory framework
Consultation outcome
From 23 March to 11 May 2022, we ran a consultation asking for views on proposed technical changes to the regulatory framework for Social Work England.
This report is a summary of responses received as well as the government’s response to the consultation.
The Social Workers Regulations 2018 set out the detail of the regulatory framework for Social Work England, covering:
registration of social workers
education and training
discipline and fitness to practise
restrictions on practice, protected titles and offences
powers of intervention
We have identified small technical changes which could be made to the regulations. These proposed changes will allow Social Work England to improve their existing flexible model of professional regulation.
