Justice

Background

The strategic justice team in the Care Inspectorate was established in 2018. Since that time we have undertaken a range of justice social work related scrutiny, assurance and improvement activities, often in collaboration with partners.

The Scottish Government also tasked the Care Inspectorate with producing a self-evaluation guide to support quality improvement for community justice in Scotland and to offer support and guidance in using the guide to deliver national and local outcomes.

These expectations are published within the Community Justice Performance Framework.

We published an overview report in December 2021. This report provides an overview of the scrutiny and assurance work undertaken between 2018-2021, and summarises the findings from our initial activities.
