The Care Inspectorate’s vision is for world-class social care and social work in Scotland, where everyone, in every community, experiences high-quality care, support and learning, tailored to their rights, needs and wishes.
To support our vision, our digital strategy aims to deliver more modern, accessible and efficient ways of working. Updating our legacy systems with current technology will support the delivery of day-to-day services and allow us to be more effective and efficient.
Our primary goal is to replace our manual processes with easy-to-use processes, to improve collaboration between the Care Inspectorate and the social care sector. This digital transformation will provide social care professionals and those who experience care with a secure platform to access, update, and share important information with the Care Inspectorate.

Launch of quality framework for justice (offender) accommodation services
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.
