The Adult Placement Schemes (England) Regulations 2004
These Regulations are made under the Care Standards Act 2000 (“the Act”) and apply to England only. Part 1 of the Act (as amended by the Health and Social Care (Community Health and Standards) Act 2003) provides for the registration and inspection of certain establishments and agencies by the CSCI. Part 2 of the Act also provides powers for regulations governing the conduct of establishments and agencies. Section 42 of the Act makes provision for regulations to apply Part 2 of the Act in respect of the future registration of other persons who are not covered on the face of the Act, and for the CSCI to be specified as the registration authority and these Regulations make such provision in relation to adult placement schemes. (Regulations (see the Care Standards Act 2000 (Extension of the Application of Part 2 to Adult Placement Schemes) (England) Regulations 2004) have previously been made under the power in section 42 of the Act, to provide that the regulation making powers in Part 2 of the Act shall apply, with the modifications set out in those Regulations, in respect of adult placement schemes, and that the CSCI shall be the registration authority in relation to those regulation making powers).
