Hello Senga,

Can you clarify what incidents I should be reporting to the Care Inspectorate, I’m not sure what constitutes a notification.

Hello Beth,

 

Yes of course I can advise on what is expected to be reported to the Care Inspectorate. The areas listed below would constitute a notification to the Care Inspectorate immediately via the E-forms system.

 

  • Accidents, incidents or injuries
  • Outbreak of infectious disease
  • Death of person using a care service
  • Allegations of abuse
  • Significant equipment breakdown
  • Allegation of misconduct by a provider or employee
  • Criminal convictions resulting in unfitness of a manager
  • A provider becoming unfit
  • Absence of manager
  • Planned refurbishment/alteration/extension of premises
  • Change of registration details
  • Person living at the registered premises

I hope this clarifies this for you.
