This Order amends the Regulation of Care (Social Service Workers) (Scotland) Order 2005 (S.S.I. 2005/318) by inserting two additional descriptions of social service worker for this purpose, namely the manager of an adult day care service and the manager of a care home service for adults. These expressions are also defined.
