Minister for Communities and Tackling Poverty, one of the Welsh Ministers
27 January 2016
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Child Minding and Day Care (Wales) Regulations 2010.
Regulation 4 removes the requirement for a certificate of registration to contain the name of the person in charge where one has been appointed.
Regulation 8 removes requirements relating to open access play provision.
Regulations 5 and 9 to 12 make amendments in consequence of the Regulation of Child Minding and Day Care (Wales) Order 2016 (which extends the regulation requirement for persons registered under Part 2 of the Children and Families (Wales) Measure 2010 to look after or provide care for children under the age of twelve). Amendments are also made to remove the requirement on applicants to provide the Welsh Ministers with an application for an enhanced criminal record certificate and for the Welsh Ministers to countersign that application.
Regulations 9 and 10 also restate with modification paragraph 13(1) and 37(1) of Schedule 1 to make it clear which persons must be of suitable integrity and good character to have contact with children.
These Regulations come into force on 1 April 2016.
The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
