Working with Parliament

 The Parliament at Westminster is responsible for UK-wide legislation and policy which has a direct effect on social care and care workers in the UK . Westminster is also responsible for specific legislation and policy in England.

Social care and policy is devolved for Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales).

NACAS hopes to achieve its aims via:

• The All Party Parliamentary Group for Adult Social Care

The All Party Parliamentary Group on Adult Social Care

Recently reformed the All Party Parliamentary Group on Adult Social Care, launched an enquiry in the professionalising of the social care workforce. NACAS was one of a number of social care stakeholders, invited to give oral evidence to the committee.

Our evidence was used to inform the APPG's comprehensive report the Future of Adult Social Care, in which a number of recommendations were made.
