The Care Inspectorate is changing the way it inspects. Some changes come into effect 1 April, some from 1 July.
The proposed changes have been informed by a widespread consultation with a broad range of partners and stakeholders, including providers and service users, and also take consideration of a number of wider issues, including the development of Scotland's new National Care Standards.
We will continue to review the ways in which we currently inspect and support improvement where this is necessary.
To help us explain the changes, we have produced a new booklet and an animation.
