Residential family centre manager

Service regulations require that “the service provider must ensure that at all times a sufficient number of suitably qualified, trained, skilled, competent and experienced staff are deployed to work at the service”.

The suitable qualifications are included on this framework.

The Qualification Framework sets out the required qualifications needed to register as a social care manager. Where you do not hold one of these but hold an alternative qualification which meets agreed essential criteria, completion of the Induction Framework can enable you to register with Social Care Wales either:

• for the first time or;
• to move to a different part of the Register.

If you wish to use this route to register, you will need to submit an application to the registration team. If the application is successful, you should complete the Induction Framework within the first 12 months of your registration and must provide evidence of this as part of your renewal of registration.

If you are already registered with us and wish to change to another part of the Register, you do not need to submit a new application. You will need to send an email to registrants@socialcare.wales, requesting a change to your registration.
