The Health and Care (Staffing)(Scotland) Act will come into force on the 1 April 2024 and is applicable to all services registered with the Care Inspectorate.
Our safe staffing team have worked in collaboration with service providers, people who experience care, relatives, representation groups and other key stakeholders. They have provided support to enable their vision for care services in Scotland to have the right people, in the right place, with the right skills, at the right time working to ensure people experience the best care outcomes.
The new Act will replace Regulation 15 from the Public Services Reform (Scotland) Act 2010. To support the sector, prepare for enactment of the new legislation on the 1 April 2024, a range of resources and recorded webinars are available to view on the safe staffing hub page.
