The Care Inspectorate

The Care Inspectorate is a government organization in Scotland responsible for ensuring that care services, such as nurseries, care homes, and home care providers, meet quality and safety standards. They inspect and regulate these services to protect vulnerable people, making sure they receive respectful, safe, and effective care. The inspectorate also provides guidance, support, and licensing to help providers maintain high standards. Their goal is to ensure that everyone receiving care experiences dignity and well-being, while holding providers accountable for delivering consistent, quality services.
