Tell Us Once
HM Government’s ‘Tell Us Once’ (TUO) is a free death notification service. It’s a difficult time when someone has died. Therefore, TUO can support bereaved citizens to notify multiple local and central government services via just one contact – Because your time matters.

We regulate and inspect care services in Scotland to make sure that they meet the right standards.
Read moreGet involved with the Care Inspectorate
We believe we can make care better by working with people who have personal experience of those services. Volunteers get involved in many different areas of our work, including inspection. We are looking for people with a personal experience of care. So, if you have used a care service, or cared for someone close who used a care service, you could be just who we're looking for.

Occasionally, we receive reports of bogus callers, calling or visiting services and claiming to be inspectors from the Care Inspectorate. You can be sure that our inspectors are who they say they are by carrying out some simple identity checks or calling us on 0345 600 9527.
Read moreJoint inspections of services across local areas
Jointly with other regulators and scrutiny bodies, we inspect a range of partnerships responsible for the overall delivery of health, social care and social work services across local areas. These partnership arrangements are generally between local authorities, NHS boards and other bodies such as police. For example, there are community planning partnerships, health and social care partnerships and adult protection partnerships.
