Working together, Improving together 2015–2018
How we will make sure people can be part of our work and have their say
Who we are
We are called the Care Inspectorate.
Our job is to check care and support
in Scotland to make sure it is good enough.
We check places that give people care
and support.
We help them do better.
What this plan is about
This plan is about making sure people can:
•takepartinourwork
