Consultation on draft regulations and guidance of the Care Act

The Department of Health has launched a consultation on draft regulations and guidance for Part 1 of the 2014 Care Act that will come into effect in April 2015.

The Care Act places care and support law into a single, clear modern statute for the first time and enshrines the principle of individual wellbeing as the driving force behind it. The regulations provide more detail to aspects of the Care Act and the statutory guidance aims to provide local authorities with the information they need about how they should meet the legal obligations placed on them by the Act and regulations.

By sharing your views and experience you can help to ensure the regulations and guidance deliver these crucial reforms.
