Informal care workers may have formal employment relationships (e.g., with national insurance), but they can also work informally receiving hourly payments, without any employment rights. Because care workers are currently considered to be solely an occupation (without being a regulated profession), they do not have a professional council that can audit the quality of care provided. It is common to find some health care assistants or technical nurses who have difficulty in finding a specialised job to be employed as care workers (formally employed or not); however, in these cases, the nursing council would hold no responsibility upon these individuals.
