The Regulation and Inspection of Social Care (Wales) Act 2016 (Commencement No. 3, Savings and Transitional Provisions) Order 2017

Barring orders

7.—(1) This paragraph applies if immediately before 3 April 2017 a transferred person was subject to a barring order imposed by the CCW’s Restoration Committee(1).

(2) On or after 3 April 2017, the person’s right to make an application for restoration to the SCW register(2) is to be treated as suspended indefinitely by a direction made, on the same date as the barring order, by a registration appeals panel of SCW under section 98(4) of the Act (restoration proceedings)(3).

(1)

A barring order may be made by the Restoration Committee of CCW in accordance with the Care Council for Wales (Fitness to Practise) Rules 2014 in circumstances where a person has been removed from the register and has made a previous application for restoration to the CCW register which has been refused.

(2)

See section 97 of the Act (restoration following fitness to practise proceedings).

(3)

Section 98(4) of the Act provides a power for a registration appeals panel to direct that a person may not make any further applications for restoration to the SCW register. Section 97 makes provision which enables a person to apply for such a direction to be reviewed after a period of three years beginning on the date on which the direction is given.
