On Saturday 30th November from 11am to 1pm, Fórsa will host a webinar for Social Care Workers. The webinar is a once off event to prepare social care professionals for statutory regulation with CORU.

‘Social Care Worker’ is to become a legally protected title in Ireland on 30th November 2025. As a consequence anyone currently working as a Social Care Worker will be required to register with CORU to continue working in the profession. 

Over the course of two hours Fórsa will explain the statutory regulations for Social Care Workers and their consequences for workers. No stone will be left unturned. Attendees will come away from the webinar knowing exactly what to expect and what to do during the registration process. On top of this, attendees will be taken through the new code of conduct and what that will mean for workers, as well a full breakdown of what CPD requirements will be in place.

Fórsa national secretary Linda Kelly said “It is really important that Social Care Workers take advantage of this opportunity. CORU registration can be imposing and stressful when you’re unsure of what you’re doing. We will lay out everything in a clear and concise manner.”

After running a regional roadshow earlier in the year, Linda is confident that the presentation will address Social Care Workers concerns. She said “We travelled around the country, taking members through the registration process, listening to their questions and improving our presentation each time. At this stage there are few questions left that would surprise us!”

While the roadshow seminars were for members only, the webinar will be open to all Social Care Workers. Addressing Social Care Workers, Linda said “tell your colleagues, especially if they’re worrying about registration. We have a leaflet you can put up in your workplace. Get the word out that we’re here to help.” 

She continued “We know how hard Social Care Workers work. We want to help them get on with the job and not have this hanging over them.”

The seminar is free to attend for social care professionals regardless of whether they are Fórsa members. To register follow this link here. 

You can also print this leaflet and display it in your workplace to encourage colleagues to attend.

The webinar will take place Saturday 30th November from 11am to 1pm online via Zoom.
