The Care Inspectorate
The Care Inspectorate is a scrutiny body which supports improvement. That means we look at the quality of care in Scotland to ensure it meets high standards. Where we find that improvement is needed, we support services to make positive changes.
Our vision is that everyone experiences safe, high-quality care that meets their needs, rights and choices.
Our staff work across Scotland, specialising in health and social care, early learning and childcare, social work, children’s services, and community justice.
