Summary
Scottish Ministers requested that the Care Inspectorate lead these joint inspections of adult support and protection in collaboration with Healthcare Improvement Scotland and Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary in Scotland.
The joint inspection focus
Building on the 2017-2018 inspections, this is one of 26 adult support and protection inspections to be completed between 2020 and 2023. They aim to provide timely national assurance about individual local partnership areas’ effective operations of adult support and protection key processes, and leadership for adult support and protection. Both the findings from these 26 inspections and the previous inspection work we undertook in 2017- 2018 will inform a report to the Scottish Government giving our overall findings. This will shape the development of the remit and scope of further scrutiny and/or improvement activity to be undertaken.
The focus of this inspection was on whether adults at risk of harm in the Edinburgh area were safe, protected and supported.
