Ed Balls has said that the GSCC Code of Practice will become mandatory for employers, but only after it has been amended. Is Aspect going to make suggestions for amendments?
We will be, though our view is that there is no reason why the Code as currently drafted, could not be applied and then amended later. There are certainly improvements that could be made to the Code. For example, it is much less clear the Nursing and Midwifery Code is on big issues such as skill mix and the delegation of work. Similarly there are aspects of the BASW Code of Ethics that ought to be part of the statutory GSCC Code, such as what the BASW Code says about the sharing of information. If you are interested in emailing suggestions to us of how the GSCC Code might be improved, please email us at “+link+””) } //–> [sorry, you need Javascript on to email me].
