On Wednesday 21^st February, Fórsa kicked off a CORU registration roadshow for our social care work members. This was the first in a series of seminars to support and advise our social care work members on the CORU regulation and registration processes. The next event will take place in our Sligo office Tuesday 12^th March, with events running up to 11th September 2024. The full list of events is available here.

On 30^th November 2023, new legislation came into effect which requires all social care workers to register with CORU. This is in preparation for 30^th November 2025, when the title ‘Social Care Worker’ will become a legally protected title in Ireland.

Fórsa assistant general secretary Chris Cully said “We want to ensure that our members are well informed of any regulatory changes, and take them through the registration process so they can avoid any pitfalls and spend more time focussing on their work.”

These events are only open to Fórsa members. Anyone interested in attending an information event can join Fórsa by clicking here.
