Requirements & recommendations
1. By 24 September 2025, the provider must ensure that children are protected from harm. To do this, they must ensure they are knowledgeable in relation to ‘Good practice guidance: prevention and management of choking episodes in babies and children’ and apply their learning into practice. This is to comply with Regulation 4(1) (Welfare of users) of the Social Care and Social Work and Improvement Scotland (Requirements for Care Services) Regulation 2011 (SSI 2011/2010). This is to ensure care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS), which state that: ‘I have confidence in people because they are trained, competent and skilled, are able to reflect on their practice and follow their professional and organisational codes’ (HSCS 3.14) and ‘I experience high quality care and support based on relevant evidence, guidance and best practice' (HSCS 4.11).
1. By 24 September 2024, the provider must ensure that the conditions of registration are adhered to, to appropriately meet the needs of children. To do this, the provider must, at a minimum: a) ensure the number of children attending the service does not exceed the number stated on the registration certificate b) keep accurate records of children's attendance. This is in order to comply with Regulation 4 (1)(a) Welfare of users of the Social Care and Social Work Improvement Scotland (Requirements for Care Services) Regulations 2011 (SSI 2011/210). This is to ensure care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS), which state that: 'My needs are met by the right number of people' (HSCS 3.15).
1. To support children’s care, wellbeing and development, the provider should improve the quality and effectiveness of personal planning.

This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS), which state that: ‘My personal plan (sometimes referred to as a care plan) is right for me because it sets out how my needs will be met, as well as my wishes and choices’ (HSCS 1.15) and ‘My care and support meets my needs and is right for me’ (HSCS 1.19).
