Quality Improvement Framework resources

The joint inspections programme is led by the Care Inspectorate. It provides independent scrutiny and assurance of how partnerships ensure that adults at risk of harm are kept safe, protected, and supported. Good practice is also identified, supporting improvement more generally across Scotland. All the joint inspections of partnerships are published on the Care Inspectorate's website, accessed via the link.

The national Large Scale Investigation (LSI) framework offers a set of processes and principles helpful to those conducting and/or participating in LSIs. To help think through how these processes and principles can be realised, the framework also contains hallmarks of good practice. It complements the Adult Support and Protection (Scotland) Act 2007 Code of Practice, building on good practice happening around Scotland.
