Introduction to the Standards |

The use of terminology |
There is a glossary in this document (see Appendix 3, or use the button above from any page) that gives a brief explanation of some of the terms used.
The standards use the term ‘registered person’ throughout. This may mean the registered provider, or the registered manager, and is dependent on the specific regulation to which it refers. It also takes account of the fact some homes will not have a separate registered manager, if the proprietor is both provider and manager.
