Welcome<br />
Welcome to issue four of CS Matters. I’m<br />
not quite sure where to start – there<br />
has been so much going on across<br />
Capability Scotland since Christmas.<br />
We’ve seen quite an increase in activity from the Care<br />
Inspectorate in recent weeks. After a quiet period<br />
during the pandemic, we’ve seen a surge in services<br />
receiving visits from the inspectors. And I’m delighted<br />
to say that the feedback in the final reports has been<br />
really encouraging. Despite all of the challenges and<br />
arguably tougher standards being expected, our<br />
grades have remained strong and, in some cases,<br />
even increased. A huge congratulations to all our<br />
teams across Scotland for this achievement.<br />
We continue to advance the Our Inclusive Community<br />
Project (OICP) at Bertha Park, with a new microsite for<br />
updates and news: https://oicp.capability.scot/<br />
I’m particularly proud of the work we’ve been doing on<br />
co-production in relation to OICP. The process we’ve been<br />
going through to have the voices of our current residents,<br />
customers and their families heard has been outstanding.<br />
It is so important that those people most affected by the<br />
move to our new flagship facility have influenced and<br />
shaped the design of both the building and service.<br />
And that’s just scratching the surface! I hope you enjoy<br />
reading about all the latest news from Capability<br />
Scotland and that your <strong>2023</strong> is going well.<br />
