We have published the new quality framework for Justice (offender) accommodation services. It reflects Scotland’s Health and Social Care Standards, which are rights-based, person-led and outcome-focused.
The primary purpose of the framework is to support services to self-evaluate their own performance. It will also be used by our inspectors to provide independent assurance about the quality of care and support. By setting out what we expect to see in high-quality care and support provision, it can help support improvement too.
You can download the framework here.
The framework will help us answer key questions about the difference that a service is making to people who experience care and the quality and effectiveness of the elements that contribute to those differences.
This new framework, along with our existing guide to self-evaluation for improvement, which is available here, supports services to evaluate their own performance.
