How will the work of the Care Commission impact on HMIEs inspection processes?
The Care Commission has responsibility to regulate and inspect care provision across Scotland for all sectors and ages from birth to old age. The Regulation of Care (Scotland) Act, 2001 requires HMIE to undertake integrated inspections with the Care Commission in centres where the provision of care includes any educational elements. Since 2003, HMIE has been collaborating with the Care Commission in integrated inspections in the pre-school sector, mainstream and special residential schools and secure units. The range of pre-school services covered by integrated inspections includes nursery classes attached to primary schools, nursery schools, playgroups, private nurseries, childminders, crèches and out of school clubs. Care homes for children and young persons and school care accommodation services (hostels, residential schools and boarding schools) are also regulated and inspected through an integrated inspection regime by the Care Commission with HMIE.
