How we use our expert voice
We use our inspection evidence and specialist knowledge to
promote best practice and help people in local and
central government who are responsible for developing policies.
We publish inspection reports for
individual care services which we make available on
this website.
We also publish special studies looking at themes and issues
that affect all care services.
Once a year we publish the State of
social care in England. This report tells the Government and
the public about the quality of social care and how well public
money is being spent.
We also work closely with the Healthcare Commission, Ofsted, the
Audit Commission and other inspectorates.
This allows us to carry out joint inspection work and look at
how well a range of public services work together to help the
people they serve.
