We are the national regulator for care services in Scotland. Care services cannot operate unless they are registered by us. We inspect services and evaluate the quality of care they deliver. We support improvement in individual services and across the care sector nationally. Where care is not good enough, we can deal with complaints and carry out enforcement action.
Our staff work across Scotland, specialising in health and social care, early learning and childcare, social work, children’s services, and community justice.
You can find the details of every registered care service in Scotland on our website including our quality evaluations and inspection reports, as well as any complaints and enforcements.
Anyone can come to us with concerns or complaints about registered care services, or about us. Listening to your concerns and investigating complaints helps us make a real difference to care services and the way we work.
