1
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,240
Changes are coming to the Codes of Professional Practice
2
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,920
for social care workers and employers in Wales.
3
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,360
From 1 July 2026,
4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:17,880
these new codes will guide everyone working in social care in Wales.
5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:19,920
We listened to your feedback
6
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:21,800
and made the codes clearer,
7
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:22,920
shorter,
8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:24,000
and simpler,
9
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,320
setting the standard for safe, high-quality care.
10
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,400
The codes explain what's expected
11
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,480
of social care workers and employers in Wales,
12
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:35,480
helping to keep the public safe and well.
13
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,480
Every social care worker who's registered with us
14
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:40,080
must follow the Code,
15
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,000
and all non-registered workers should follow it as well.
16
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,000

safer social care sector for Wales.
