These Regulations are made under the National Health Service Reform and Health Care Professions Act 2002 as amended by Part 2 of the Children and Social Work Act 2017 (“the 2017 Act”), which made changes to the way in which social workers in England are regulated. In particular the 2017 Act established a body corporate, Social Work England (“SWE”), as the regulator of social workers in England in place of the Health and Care Professions Council.
