The Care Standards Act 2000 (Extension of the Application of Part 2 to Adult Placement Schemes) (England) Regulations 2004

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations are made under the Care Standards Act 2000 (“the Act”) and apply to England only. Part 2 of the Act provides for the registration and inspection of establishments and agencies by the CSCI. Section 42 of the Act makes provision, through regulations, for the application of the Act in respect of the future registration of other services which are not covered on the face of the Act. These include services that are, or are similar to, services which local authorities provide in the exercise of their social services functions. These Regulations prescribe a person who carries on or manages an adult placement scheme for the purposes of section 42, and provide that the regulation making powers in Part 2 of the Act (regulation 2(2)) shall apply to such persons with the modifications set out in regulation 3. Regulation 2(3) specifies the CSCI as the registration authority for the purposes of sections 14(1), 16(3) and 33 to 35 of the Act.
