18. SCOTTISH CARE PUBLICATIONS HOME DELIVERY – the profile of the Care at Home sector in Scotland 2015 IN THE FRONT LINE – social care providers survey, report on recruitment and retention 2015 IN THE FRONT LINE – supplementary report on the use of agency staff TOWARDS A PARTNERSHIP FOR IMPROVEMENT – independent sector providers’ experience of regulation and inspection by the Care Inspectorate

19. REPORT ON THE CARE INSPECTORATE The feedback detailed within this report in relation to the application of these principles identifies three key findings: Some very positive practice is taking place across the country in relation to inspection and regulation, leading to improved outcomes and better services for all; The variable application of the principles of transparency, clarity, consistency and fairness is a very real and concerning issue for the sector and the Care Inspectorate must take further steps to mitigate against this; The independent sector wants to achieve better partnership working with the regulator in order to improve both partners’ work, and has some positive ideas about how this could be done.

20. REPORT ON THE CARE INSPECTORATE There are four key principles of inspection and regulation that Scottish Care profiles through this report, through evidencing where and when they are being applied effectively or less effectively in current practice. Clarity Partnership Consistency Fairness

24. “The implications of failing to provide adequate funding include: heightened risk of care home providers going into administration; still higher care fees for self-funders; a decrease in the quality of provision and services; an increased level of delayed discharges from hospital; and increasing difficulties in the recruitment and retention of care home staff at all grades. In short, the funding of care is at the heart of building a high quality and sustainable sector into the future”  The Residential Care Taskforce Report
