Hello everyone and welcome to issue seven of Tomorrow’s Care.
April has been a month of significant change for the care sector. From the introduction of part one of the Care Act, to the launch of new regulations by the CQC, there are a lot of new rules to get up to speed with.
In the first of his regular columns for Tomorrow’s Care, Richard Bates, Head of the Later Life team at Rix & Kay Solicitors, outlines the basics of the Care Quality Commission’s new regulations, including the ‘fit and proper persons’ requirements for care home directors.
Also in this issue, Adam Hartrick from healthcare law firm, Hempsons, unpacks Regulation 20 and explains how to ensure your facility fulfils the CQC’s new duty of candour.

Elsewhere, Cognisco’s Mary Clarke shines the spotlight on the Care Act and how it is set to change the way care facilities train and develop their staff. It’s no longer acceptable to simply provide training, warns Mary, you will also have to prove that lessons are learned and acted upon.
We hope these articles – and the rest of the magazine – will help you to navigate this new chapter for the care sector.
