How we can support you

Most social care workers in Wales must register with us because it’s a legal requirement.

Regulation protects the public as it makes sure only those who are competent and qualified can deliver care and support in roles where registration is required.

Being on the Register means you’re part of a professional workforce and can show you have the skills and knowledge to provide good care and support to the people of Wales.

We have lots of information and resources to support those who work in social care in Wales.
