14 December

15.00 to 16.00  

Adult care home providers

The Scottish government asked us to design a staffing method framework, firstly for adult care homes. This has been created in response to the Act, and in consultation with adult care homes services and stakeholders. Following the development of a staffing method the Scottish Ministers may make regulations to require care service providers to use that method​. These regulations may include, for example, stating the types of care services and individuals working in a care service to which the method relates​, the minimum frequency at which the method is to be used​ and the staffing level tools that must be used.

Thursday 28 March 2024

All registered adult care services

Join us with just three days to implementation of The Health and Care (Staffing) (Scotland) Act 2019. Section 7 of the Act states that any person who provides a care service 'must ensure that at all times:

  • suitably qualified and competent individuals are working in the care service in such numbers as are appropriate for
  • the health, wellbeing, and safety of service users
  • the provision of safe and high-quality care
  • the wellbeing of staff.’

Stakeholders will require access to data about staffing to report to Scottish Ministers. How might this impact on the information you have about staffing in your service.
