This is a report on the outcomes of the consultation on the proposals for changes to the social care common inspection framework. In particular, the way we carry out interim inspections of children鈥檚 homes and the way we inspect residential holiday schemes for disabled children (RHSDC).

In summary, for children鈥檚 homes we will:

• replace the current relative judgement with a single judgement based on the findings of the inspection
• revise our inspection methodology so that the inspection activities we carry out will provide better assurance that children are well cared for and safe
• rename the inspections 鈥榓ssurance inspections鈥�

For residential holiday schemes for disabled children we will:

• update the language and emphasis in the SCCIF for RHSDC to increase the emphasis on the child鈥檚 experience and reduce the focus on their progress
• work with providers, professionals, parents, carers and children where possible to gather evidence remotely. We will reduce the time on site from 2 days to half a day and carry out a variety of inspection activities off site.
• require schemes to provide a formal notification of the proposed date(s) and location(s) they will operate from *contact the responsible individual or registered manager approximately 10 days before the first day of the scheme. We will work with the provider to arrange a manager鈥檚 interview (at an agreed time), review the arrangements for the scheme such as recruitment and planning, policies and risk assessments and agree the most suitable time to visit.
