Updated guidance on how we inspect regulated care services

We have published updated guidance, How we inspect regulated services: guidance for providers of regulated care settings and the public.

The document explains our approach to inspecting regulated care services in Scotland, including how we plan inspections, gather and consider evidence, make evaluations, and share feedback with services. 

It is intended to support providers, people experiencing care, families, carers and the wider public to understand what to expect from inspection and how inspection supports improvement in the quality of care. 

We also have an easy-read document, How we find out about your care and support for people using services.
