Care Inspectorate Process
Registering with the Care Inspectorate or Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) is a legal step before you deliver any regulated care. We guide you from “idea” to “inspection-ready,” so your application, evidence and governance are consistent with current standards and legislation. We keep the language simple, the evidence clear, and the timelines realistic, so you can focus on building a safe, person-centred service.
Regional Expertise
Rules and wording differ between Scotland and Wales. In Scotland, services register under the Public Services Reform (Scotland) Act 2010 and are measured against the Health and Social Care Standards. In Wales, services register with CIW under the Regulation and Inspection of Social Care (Wales) Act 2016 (RISCA). We translate the requirements into plain steps for you and provide examples that fit your model of care.We understand how stressful inspections can be. That’s why we offer CQC and OFSTED mock inspections, compliance audits, and ongoing support to ensure you’re inspection-ready with clear evidence, robust systems, and peace of mind.
Care Inspectorate
Scotland
Service Registration
If you plan to operate a care service in Scotland, you must register with the Care Inspectorate before you start. We help you choose the correct service type, prepare your application and evidence, and align your Statement of Purpose, policies and staffing plan with the Health and Social Care Standards. careinspectorate.com
Housing Support Services
Housing support has its own quality framework and evidence expectations. We map your support model, outcomes and governance to that framework, making sure your assessments, risk management and improvement plans are inspection-ready from day one. careinspectorate.com
Childcare Registration
Children’s and young people’s services have specific records, notifications and oversight duties. We set up your documentation and incident-to-learning loop, so your application shows how you safeguard, involve families and measure impact. careinspectorate.com
healthcare Registration
If your model blends social care with healthcare inputs, we’ll help you evidence competencies, clinical governance and safe delegation within the boundaries of your registration, avoiding scope creep and ensuring the right conditions are in place.

Care Homes
For residential services, we help you demonstrate leadership and oversight, staffing levels and training, environment and equipment checks, and how residents’ voice influences improvement. Our templates make ongoing compliance easier after registration. GOV.WALES
