Hello Joseph

 

Yes, I can point you in the right direction with this.

 

There is lots of information and guidance on the Care Inspectorates website, which you can access here: https://www.careinspectorate.com/index.php/register-a-care-service.

 

Please ensure you read all the information and understand the costs involved prior to applying. You must also have a good knowledge of the Health and Social Care Standards which you will find here: https://www.gov.scot/publications/health-social-care-standards-support-life/

 

Good Luck
