Petition Action

Require registration and regulation of all private domiciliary carers in England

Petition Details

We ask the Government to require all English domiciliary carers to undergo mandatory registration, enhanced DBS checks & minimum training requirements. English private carers are not currently required to register with a regulatory body, undergo enhanced DBS checks or meet minimum training standards

Additional Information

We ask the Government to require all domiciliary carers outside agency settings to be registered under a national registration scheme, have enhanced DBS checks, be required to have minimum qualification requirements, and be legally and officially suspended or barred from being a carer if convicted of theft, abuse, or misconduct. We believe these reforms are needed to protect vulnerable people receiving care in their own homes.
