Changes to Social Work England's regulatory framework

The Social Workers Regulations 2018 set out the detail of the regulatory framework for Social Work England, covering:

• registration of social workers
• education and training
• discipline and fitness to practise
• restrictions on practice, protected titles and offences
• powers of intervention

We have identified small technical changes which could be made to the regulations. These proposed changes will allow Social Work England to improve their existing flexible model of professional regulation.
