Report on the General Social Care Council

Report on the General Social Care Council

In June this year the Secretary of State for Health commissioned CHRE to carry out a review of the conduct function of the General Social Care Council (GSCC), the social care regulator for England.

Our report was submitted to the Secretary of State on 30 September and it identifies a number of failings in the processes and procedures of the conduct function at the GSCC and in its management and oversight. The report makes 20 recommendations to the GSCC and to the Department of Health for the correction of weaknesses in the conduct function, the improvement of quality and the enhancement of public protection.

A copy of the report is available for review.
