Manage my Service

About Manage my Service
Manage my Service is our new single online portal that will replace the existing Care Inspectorate Digital Portal and Electronic Forms (eForms).
We are making it easier to use our systems which will free up time for both the Care Inspectorate and your service to focus on improving the quality of care for people who experience care.
Today, care services manage access to our systems in different ways and log in to each of our systems in different places. From August, you will use a single online platform, called Manage my Service, that is easier to use and simplifies your interactions with us.
Manage my Service is scheduled to launch later this year.
You will be able to access Manage my Service through the Care Inspectorate website.
Getting started and submitting user details
Between May and early June your care service was sent an email titled “Urgent action needed; unique contact details required” from no-reply@careinspectorate.gov.scot or support@ember.ltd
This email contains a link to the Manage my Service User Details Form and instructions on how to provide details of your Care Service Administrator and other staff that will require access to Manage my Service.
To use Manage my Service, each registered care service must provide us with new user details for staff who need access at care service level, assigned to one of two roles:
Staff who should be able to manage all parts of your registered care service on the Manage my Service portal.
We call this user the ‘Care Service Administrator’. They will be able to perform a range of tasks including adding additional users to the portal, submitting variations, responding to inspection reports and enforcements. Care services can have more than one Care Service Administrator.The names and unique email addresses of staff who will need to use the Manage my Service portal for other tasks.
We also need to know who you want to have access to the Manage my Service portal to complete other tasks like submitting notifications or communicating with us. We call this user ‘Care Service Support’. Users with the Care Service Support role will not be able to change service details or respond to reports. Care services can have more than one Care Service Support user.
After providing these contact details no further action is needed.
You will be notified when Manage my Service goes live and will be asked to follow a simple first-time login journey. You will enter your unique email address, verify your identity, and set your own secure password.
In the meantime, please continue to use our Electronic Forms (eForms) and Care Inspectorate Digital Portal systems as usual with your existing login details.

If you do not provide us with user details, you won’t have access to Manage My Service when it launches. Reporting notifications and other engagements will require an account, which will take longer to register once Manage my Service is launched.
The most efficient and convenient way is to register in advance using the Manage my Service User Details Form.
The Manage my Service User Details Form is for registered care services only and the users who need access at care service level.
We will shortly be contacting service providers separately with information on how provider users will be registered and set up in Manage my Service.
Once set up, provider users will be able to view all services linked to your organisation and manage access across services; including adding and removing access for users
If you are from a service provider, we will contact you directly with the next steps soon.
User roles and permissions

Yes, it is possible to have multiple Care Service Administrators. Each Care Service Administrator will need to have their own unique email address to login into the portal.

Logistics and access

If you need to access multiple services within the same provider when Manage my Service launches, please provide your details through the Manage my Service User Details Form sent to each relevant service.

For security purposes. The new solution is built on a secure, named-user identity model that requires unique, individually authenticated accounts per user.

Launch day
You will be able to complete the first-time login journey for the Manage my Service portal when it goes live. You will enter your unique email address, verify your identity, and set your own secure password.
Our Electronic Forms (eForms) and Care Inspectorate Digital Portal systems will be active with your existing login details until the launch of Manage my Service. From its launch date, all your interactions with us will be administered via Manage my Service.
Your core care service data will be integrated into the new portal before the launch of Manage my Service, so you don't have to re-enter it.
For a small number of care services, in-progress registrations and inspections will continue to be managed via the Electronic Forms (eForms) and Care Inspectorate Digital Portal systems. You will be informed if this is the case.
For all other care services, Manage my Service will be the single portal for managing your care service with us.
