REGISTRATION

Following a period of consultation and research, NACAS has launched a voluntary register for social care workers in England.

The register has been developed by the National Association of Care & Support Workers in partnership with the Institute of Health & Social Care Management. 

The voluntary register has been developed independently and without any official mandate from the central government. As such, the register does not place any obligation on anyone to register, though we would encourage all care professionals in England to consider having an entry on the CPR. 

The CPR does place expectations on those who choose to be on the register to observe the cultures and behaviours expected of a care professional, adhere to a Code of Conduct, and carry out their work to the highest of standards.    

It is hoped that all evidence obtained through running the CPR register will help inform the discussion around mandatory registration with the central government.
