Call for help to drive up care standards in Orkney

The Care Inspectorate has called on people to help drive up standards within the county’s care homes, children’s services, nurseries and social work services.

The care and social work regulator has highlighted complaints as a key way people who use services, their carers, staff and the wider public can let the regulator know about problems in their area.

Anyone with concerns or complaints about a service can raise these, anonymously if they prefer, via the Care Inspectorate website at www.careinspectorate.com or by contacting the National Enquiry Line on 0845 600 9527.
