The Impact and Limits of Statutory Regulation on Qualifications and Skills in Social Care
an article by Howard Gospel and Paul A Lewis (King's College London) published in British Journal of Industrial Relations Volume 19 Issue 4 (December 2011)
Abstract
This article examines the impact of statutory regulation on qualifications and skills in the social care sector in the UK. It draws on various sources and a set of case studies, first carried out in 2003 and replicated in 2008. The analysis shows that the advent of the statutory régime has had a positive effect on the volume of training and qualifications in the sector. However, few organisations have combined training with a broader set of human resource management practices of the kind required for the establishment of a high-performance work system. This constitutes one of the continuing limits to further skill development. Changes in the regulatory régime risk losing benefits that have been gained.
