Blog: Our new framework will help to improve services for people experiencing care at home
By Maureen Gunn, Service Manager
We are delighted to support Home Care Day and to celebrate and raise awareness of Scotland’s care at home and housing support services. It is so important to celebrate the opportunities home care services offer to enhance lives and improve wellbeing for a wide range of people. Thousands of people across Scotland are supported to live well in their own homes, knowing that care at home services are on hand to provide the support they need to do so.
All these services are registered with the Care Inspectorate, and we inspect them all regularly. Some are stand-alone services that support people in their long-standing home. Others support older people as they move into more sheltered housing. And others provide life-long support for adults with particular needs and abilities.

There will be two strands to the team’s work. During 2018-19 one strand will focus on supporting and validating self-evaluation of community justice in Scotland and the other will focus on inspection of criminal justice social work services, with particular attention on community payback orders. Our intention is to provide a transparent and robust approach to scrutiny and inspection.
