2 mins read Social Care
Social Work England, the new regulator, is holding a consultation into draft professional standards, registration rules and fitness to practice rules that all social workers will be expected to meet.

The proposals have been developed in partnership with social work experts and users of services. The consultation is open until 5pm on Wednesday, 1 May.

Here, Ray Jones, emeritus professor of social work, Kingston University and St George's University of London, and a registered social worker for 40 years, analyses the proposals and identifies key issues for consideration.
