The Care Inspectorate

The Care Inspectorate pledges to:

Challenge ourselves to increase the positive impact we make on our local community.

We will do the following things that we don’t do at the moment to improve our social impact.

Signed by Jackie Irvine, Chief Executive, April 2023

1st Commitment

We will aim to introduce new methods of engagement and participation as part of our commitment to Keep The Promise and incorporate the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child into our work. We further commit to review our inclusion of marginalised communities. This will help to ensure people’s views are heard and acted on. Developing participation in this way will contribute to achieving our strategic outcome that ‘everyone’s rights [are] realised and respected’.

2nd Commitment

As part of the Anne’s Law Project, we will engage with people experiencing care, their families and friends, and service providers to develop guidance and share good practice. This will enhance and promote meaningful connection, community involvement and visiting rights for people who live in adult and older people’s care homes.
