Regulation
Regulation summary
Service regulations describe residential family centre services as the provision of accommodation for children and their parents (or any person who is looking after the child) at a place in Wales where:
the parents’ capacity to respond to the child’s needs and to safeguard their well-being is monitored or assessed, and
the parents are given such care and support as is thought to be necessary.
The residential family centre manager will set the operational direction and organise the effective running of the service provision to meet the setting’s statement of purpose.
All practising residential family centre managers in Wales must be registered with Social Care Wales.
