How we support quality improvement

Our Quality improvement and involvement strategy 2022-25 sets out how we support social care and social work in Scotland to improve the outcomes for those who experience care. 

Our Quality improvement plan 2025-26 and Participation and equalities annual delivery plan 2024-25 focuses on our key work priorities.

The process for accessing quality improvement support can be found here.

The improvement support section in both the strategy and plan focuses on our four pillars
of quality improvement and involvement. These pillars describe how we aim to support services, providers, and partnerships to develop more skills to make lasting improvements and involve those who experience care and support throughout the process. The four pillars are: 

• building quality improvement capacity and capability 

• growing innovation 

• growing involvement and equalities 

• providing equitable quality improvement support.
