 To continue improving social care services in Wales, the Welsh government is thinking about making some changes to the law. We have published a consultation to pave the way to do this. As part of a wider project to redesign how we look after children and young people living in care in Wales, we are working with partners to eliminate profit-making from these services. We propose that only not-for-profit children's care homes or foster services will register with Care Inspectorate Wales and be allowed to operate in Wales. We also want to make sure that adults who are eligible for continuing NHS health care are able to use direct payments. People are experts in their own care. Being able to choose how their needs are met and who meets them will help people remain independent for longer. Another consideration is whether legal duties report children and adults who may be at risk of harm, abuse or neglect should apply directly to individuals working in places like the NHS, social care, youth offending, probation services, the police and education. Would this help to keep more people safe? Among some other small changes to how social care is regulated, we are proposing that childcare and play workers be included with the meaning of social care worker so that social care Wales can further support them in their work. We want your views on these proposals. The consultation is now live and runs until the 7th of November 2022.
