The Disqualification for Caring for Children Regulations 1991
These Regulations replace the disqualifications contained in the Nurseries and Childminders Regulation Act 1948, the Child Care Act 1980 and the Foster Children Act 1980 which are repealed by the Children Act 1989. The Regulations also include the disqualifications contained in the Children’s Homes Act 1982 (c. 20) which had not been brought into force and are repealed by the 1989 Act. To the extent that they apply to disqualification from registration for childminding and day care the Regulations extend also to Scotland.
