66.This section sets out the framework for applications for registration, with subsection (1) requiring that the application for registration must be made to the registration authority. Subsection (3) requires that a person applying for registration as a manager of an establishment or agency must be an individual, and not other types of legal ‘person’, such as a limited company or local authority. (See also the notes to sections 22 and 56, which together provide that a manager may be required to register on an appropriate part of the Council’s register of social care workers.)
