Definition
The Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) was established under the Health and Social Care Act 2003, and became operational on 1 April 2004. Incorporating the work of the former Social Services Inspectorate (SSI), the SSI/Audit Commission Joint Review Team and the National Care Standards Commission (NCSC), the CSCI is now the single independent inspectorate for social care in England.
The remit of the CSCI includes the regulation, review and inspection of all social care services in adult and children’s services in the public, private and voluntary sectors. In collating this information, the CSCI provides documentary evidence of the quantity and quality of social care services at both a local and national level.
