Guidance Note You are advised to use the accompanying guidance when completing the self assessment. When you complete the self assessment, it is important that you take consideration of the National Care Standards. To help you to do this, you will find examples of sources of evidence and questions to ask about the service, matched to National Care sub Standards (in brackets) by clicking on the help icon next to the Quality Statement. Some examples may not apply to your service so it is important that you take time to look at these and use those most applicable. It is not meant to be used simply as a checklist. For some services there may be other legislation or best practice which will inform how you work. This is included under the heading 'Legislation and Best Practice Signposting below: When completing the self-assessment you should be aware of the provisions of the Public Services Reform (Scotland) Act 2010 and associated regulations; and, where appropriate, the Regulation of Care (Scotland) Act 2001. NB: The term "service users and carers" is used throughout this document for ease of reference, but is also taken to include family members and other representatives e.g. guardians, advocates etc. The term "carer" is used to mean people who look after a partner, husband or wife, son or daughter, relative or friend with a disability or illness. Many carers live with the person they care for, but many look after someone who lives independently, in supported accommodation, in hospital, or in a care home.
