KEY STAKEHOLDERS
We are fully registered with the Care Inspectorate. The Care Inspectorate inspects Cherry Blossom throughout the year. The Home is inspected by the Director also, this is done at least on a monthly basis. At every visit young people are given the opportunity to talk privately to the visiting adult.
The Care Inspectorate look at the quality of care in Scotland to ensure it meets high standards. Where they find that improvement is needed, they support services to make positive changes.
The Care Inspectorate is a scrutiny body which supports improvement. Their vision is that everyone experiences safe, high-quality care that meets their needs, rights and choices. The Care Inspectorate have 600 staff work across Scotland, specialising in health and social care, early learning and childcare, social work, children’s services, and community justice. There inspectors talk to people using the service, staff and managers. They want to make sure that people experience high-quality care, and that care services are making a positive impact on people’s lives, based on their needs, rights and choices. They give care services grades when they inspect them, and look at key areas like care and support, physical environment, quality of staffing, and quality of management and leadership. After every inspection, they publish an inspection report showing their findings, which is helpful if you are using service or thinking of doing so. They can make recommendations for improvement and issue requirements for change and check these have happened.
