You have joined Social Care Wales’ Register of the social care workforce in Wales.
Well done, you are now registered to practice here in Wales and have shown that you have the right values, skills and training to be a social care worker.
Now you can reap the many benefits of joining the Register:
- Firstly, people will have confidence in you, knowing you follow the Code.
- Service users and their families can rely on registered social care workers.
- Employers can provide the support and development you need.
- You’ll have Practice Guidance which is specific to your role.
- Knowing more about you will help Social Care Wales plan ways to support you.
- You’ll be invited to events, conferences and consultations.
Registration is for up to three years, with an annual fee. After that you will need to renew, or your registration will lapse which means your name will be removed from the Register and you can’t legally practise in Wales.
Your application for renewal will be available for you to complete on your SCW online account.
Here you can also update any changes such as your address, job details, personal and professional information and pay your fees.
You can also use SCW online to keep an up to date record of your continuous professional development.
