(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Section 10(1) of the Regulation and Inspection of Social Care (Wales) Act 2016 (“the Act”) requires service providers to submit an annual return to the Welsh Ministers.
Section 10(2) of the Act sets out the requirements for the contents of the annual return.
These Regulations are made under section 10(2)(a)(vii), (viii) and (ix), (3) and (4) of the Act, which enables Welsh Ministers to prescribe the information about training and workforce planning and other information which must be contained in the annual return, to prescribe the form of the annual return and to prescribe the time limit within which the annual return must be submitted to Welsh Ministers.
Regulation 3 requires the annual return to contain information about the arrangements for identifying, planning and meeting the training needs of staff.
Regulation 4 requires the annual return to contain information about the arrangements for recruitment and retention of staff.
Regulations 5 and 6 and the Schedule deal with other information about the service provided at each location, which must be contained in the annual return, including information about staffing and about service provision and the specific information required where the service involves the provision of accommodation.
Regulations 7 and 8 require the annual return to contain a declaration of truth by the service provider and the responsible individual. This will provide evidence of the person responsible for making a statement in the annual return in the event of a prosecution for an offence under section 47 of the Act (false statements).
The Welsh Ministers' Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, a regulatory impact assessment has been prepared as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations. A copy can be obtained from the Department of Health and Social Services, Welsh Government, Cathays Park, Cardiff, CF10 3NQ.
