Care In The Home
We regulate care services in Scotland.
Prior to 2002, the regulation of care services was carried out by registration and inspection units in 32 councils and 12 health boards. One of the main drivers for the creation of the Care Commission was the need to improve consistency in the application of standards and regulations across Scotland.
Our purpose isto regulate for the improvement of care in Scotland.
Our aim is to raise standards of care by involving people who are cared for, their families and carers and those who provide care.
Our principles are:
- keeping people safe
- promoting dignity and choice
- supporting independence
Our vision is for care services to:
- improve people’s lives
- be easy to reach and there when needed
- be innovative
- support independence
- offer choice
- be staffed by competent, reliable and trustworthy people
