Our role in quality assurance
New arrangements for reviewing and learning from the deaths of children and young people came into force on 1 October 2021.
Local authorities must notify the Care Inspectorate and the Scottish Government of any death of a young person in receipt of aftercare provision as soon as is reasonably practicable.
Local authorities must:
complete a DAC1 form and send this to cistrategicteamnotification@careinspectorate.gov.scot
send a copy of the completed DAC1 form to the Scottish Government at Looked_after_children@gov.scot
Please note, this is separate from the duty of a registered care service to notify us of the death of a service user. These should be submitted via our eforms system.
Please submit all relevant forms/reports through secure email to
cistrategicteamnotification@careinspectorate.gov.scot
The main contact for this work is Karen McCormack, strategic service manager or Sharon Telfer, strategic inspector, email: cistrategicteamnotification@careinspectorate.gov.scot
