Social Care and Social Work Improvement Scotland (SCSWIS) - http://www.scswis.com
On 1 April 2011 the work of the Care Commission passed to a new body, Social Care and Social Work Improvement Scotland (SCSWIS).
Regulation of independent healthcare has passed to Healthcare Improvement Scotland.
We make sure that care service providers meet the Scottish Governments National Care Standards and work to improve the quality of care.
To do this, we have 582 employees, including 328 Care Commission officers who inspect services, and an annual operating budget of around £30 million.
Almost 320,000 people use the 15,000 services we regulate - read the list of services we regulate, and watch our DVD to find out more about who we are and what we do.
Our Code of Conduct, tells you about the standard of conduct you should expect from Care Commission staff.
The SSSC is responsible for registering people who work in social services in Scotland and regulating their education and training.
Our role is to increase the protection of people who use social services, to raise standards of practice and to increase public confidence in the sector.
