UKHCA
and Social Care Association (SCA)
The United Kingdom Home Care Association (UKHCA)
and Social Care Association (SCA) are working together to produce and
disseminate a good practice guide to draw attention to the requirements of this
legislation to their members.
The
SCA predominantly represent the social care workforce and the UKHCA represent
independent sector domiciliary care organisations. Therefore, although the
guidance published will cover both employers and employees, it will be generic
in format, but where there are key differences these will be highlighted. The
guidance will be in the form of an A5 booklet with an independent summary.
The guidance will be written taking into
consideration a number of existing documents and will include information and
good practice material gained from key organisations within the Social Care
field.
It
is envisaged that the full guidance will be disseminated via each
organisation’s web sites, which gain a large number of hits per month, in the
first instance with a view to gaining sponsorship to enable hard copy
publication of the full document.

Grove.
