Commentary on Sections Part 5 – Social Care Workers: Standards of Conduct, Education Etc. Section 116 - Other functions of Social Care Wales in respect of education and training
167.Subsection (1) will allow SCW to make provision for the training of social care workers and prospective workers; that might be through it providing training itself, or by commissioning appropriate courses from another person.
