Requirements & recommendations
1. By 27 June 2025, the provider must ensure that personal plans are in place for all that include all relevant information required to fully meet and plan for each child’s needs. To do this, the provider must, at a minimum ensure: a) Each child attending has a plan which contains information outlining their preferences, routines and health and wellbeing details. b) Information within personal plans is used to effectively support children's care and learning needs. c) Plans are reviewed with parents/carers at least every six months. This is to comply with Regulation 5 (1)(2) of the Social Care and Social Work Improvement Scotland (Requirements for Care Services) Regulations 2011 (SSI 2011/210). 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 1.1
1. To improve outcomes for children, quality assurance processes, including self-evaluation and improvement planning should be further developed. This should include but not limited to; a) Prioritise actioning the requirement and areas for improvement made following the inspection. b) Important aspects of the service such as personal planning are regularly monitored and carried out in accordance with best practice guidance. c) Develop ways to include parents and children in the development of the service. d) Develop self-evaluation and improvement planning to support reflection on practice and identify improvement focusses. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: 'I use a service and organisation that are well led and managed' (HSCS 4.23) and;
'I benefit from a culture of continuous improvement, with the organisation having robust and transparent quality assurance processes' (HSCS 4.19).
