Annual returns
This year's annual returns will be available to service providers for completion between 6 January and 3 March 2025. The closing date includes an extension of two weeks on our usual six-week deadline.
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 and improvement work. We 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.
