Inspections
The scope of our inspections will include all the social work activities of local authorities and other bodies (such as organisations providing social work services to a local authority). During the course of our inspections we will take into account the findings by other inspection and regulatory organisations.
We are due to complete performance inspections of all 32 local authorities by March 2009. We have completed our programme criminal justice inspections. At present, we are looking at this work in light of the Management of Offenders etc (Scotland) Act 2005.
Integrated inspection activity to date has also included:
- a multi-agency inspection of learning disability services;
- a multi-agency inspection of substance misuse services;
- multi-agency inspections of services for older people.
