Commission for Social Care Inspection

The Commission for Social Care Inspection is the single, independent inspectorate for social care in England. It incorporates the work formerly done by the Social Services Inspectorate (SSI), the SSI/Audit Commission Joint Review Team and the National Care Standards Commission (NCSC).

Launched in April 2004, the Commission was created by the Health and Social Care (Community Health and Standards) Act 2003. The Commission has a much wider remit than its predecessor organisations, bringing together the inspection, regulation and review of all social care services into one organisation.
 
The Commission for Social Care Inspection's primary function is to promote improvements in social care. They only inspect homes for adults within The David Lewis Centre twice a year and work closely with the Centre management to ensure that standards are met and upheld.

The results of all 16 inspections each year are recorded in substantial inspection reports. These documents are publicly available and may be found on the CSCI website by following the links below.
