Care Inspectorate welcomes Independent Care Review

Peter Macleod chief executive of the Care Inspectorate, has today welcomed the publication of the findings of the Independent Care Review.

He said: “This was a wide-ranging review and we welcome these findings as they relate to the work of the Care Inspectorate and the services we inspect and support to improve.

“Everyone in Scotland has the right to high-quality care which meets their needs and respects their rights and choices.

"Listening to young people describing their experience of care and support and reflecting that in the findings of inspections is of central importance to the work that we do. We recognise that we should change and improve how we do that.

“We have been working with those involved in the review to begin to make the necessary changes.”

Final date for annual return submission approaching

Each year, we ask you to complete an annual return. This gives us important information that helps us plan, inform and carry out our inspections. We also share some of the information with other organisations, such as the Scottish Social Services Council and the Scottish Government, and we use it to produce several statistical publications that you can view on our website. 

Annual returns opened online on Friday 3 January and are closing soon, on Friday 14 February.
