What is a CSCI Report?
The Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) registers, inspects and reports on social care services in England. Their job is to improve social care and stamp out bad practice.
After each inspection a report is written by the inspector detailing how well a Home meets the National Minimum Standards. We then have 28 days to provide our comments on the report before it is published on the CSCI website. CSCI carrys out mainly unannounced inspections when the service doesn't know the inspector is visiting.
In the reports you will see that CSCI have made a judgement about the quality of service we provide in each of the outcome areas (Choice of Home, Health and Personal Care, Daily Life and Social Activities, Complaints and Protection, Environment, Staffing and Management and Administration). The judgement for each area says whether CSCI consider the quality to be excellent, good, adequate or poor. The judgement takes into account the views and experience of our residents as well as assessment of the information CSCI has about the Home.
