Much done - more to do on protection of vulnerable adults says social care workforce regulator
GSCC, 28/07/2005 
Rodney Brooke, Chair of the workforce regulator said: 

"People deserve dignity and for that we need care workers who are trained, checked and accountable for delivering high standards of care. PoVA has made a good start in keeping out a number of dangerous abusers from the workforce. 

"But it is not enough just to keep out the worst offenders and we know very few care workers set out to abuse. It is about quality and we need to make sure that every one of the 1.4 million social care workers are properly equipped to deliver the high standards set out in the GSCC's codes of practice. 

"This is why we welcome the Government's commitment to rolling out registration to other care workers. This way we can make sure the workforce is properly trained, committed and accountable for care."
