Inspection Report
CSCI is the governing body for inspection within care homes around the country.
What does this inspection involve?
Inspection is the main way in which CSCI assesses the quality of the service provided to people. It is also the main tool that we use to raise standards in care services, to at least the level of the National Minimum Standards set by the Department of Health.
Announced and unannounced inspections
'Announced' inspections are where the service knows that the inspector is coming, and they are able to prepare. During an announced inspection, all of the relevant National Minimum Standards should be reviewed.
'Unannounced' inspections are where the service doesn't know the inspector is coming. Reports are also produced following complaints investigations. Unannounced / complaints investigation inspection reports may not review all of the National Minimum Standards, as inspectors may wish to focus on specific areas of the service.
