Following extensive consultation and research, NACAS has launched the Care Professionals Register (CPR) for social care workers in England.
As the Professional Body for Care Professionals, NACAS is leading the way with registration.
The main purpose of registration is to protect the public as it ensures only those who are competent and properly trained can deliver care and support in roles where registration is required.
Being registered means you are part of a professional workforce and can show that you have skills and knowledge which are vital to providing good care and support to the people of England.
Following extensive consultation and research, NACAS has launched the Care Professionals Register (CPR) for social care workers in England.
Developed in partnership with the Institute of Health & Social Care Management, the register provides a platform to recognise and uphold the professionalism of care workers across the sector.
By joining the register, care professionals commit to maintaining the highest standards of conduct, adhering to a Code of Conduct, and embodying the values expected within the profession.
The insights gained through the CPR will contribute to ongoing discussions about the future of professional registration in social care.
We encourage all care professionals in England to consider registering and demonstrating their dedication to excellence in care.
The Professional Standards Authority (PSA) has published a report confirming that the Care Professionals Register – administered by the National Association of Care and Support Workers (NACAS) – has provisionally met the public interest test for accreditation, also known as Standard One.
This marks an important step towards accreditation for a workforce that plays a vital role in supporting people in care settings, in the community and in their own homes.
The PSA recognises that care professionals – also known as care and support workers – are an eligible group for accreditation, and that their work benefits the public.
There are benefits to having a register of people who work in social care. They include:
