The SCCIF is not a one-size-fits-all framework. Where necessary, the SCCIF reflects and addresses the unique and distinct aspects of each type of setting. However, the evaluation criteria we use to make judgements and the accompanying guidance are, wherever possible, consistent across settings.
TheSCCIFmeans that:
- we usually apply the same judgement structure across the range of settings listed above
- the experiences and progress of children and other service users, wherever they live or receive help, are central to inspections
- there are key areas of evidence that we usually report on at each inspection
Our approach is further underpinned by the following 3 principles that apply to all social care inspections.
- to focus on the things that matter most to childrens lives
- to be consistent in our expectations of providers
- to prioritise our work where improvement is needed most
