The Care Inspectorate and HM Inspectors have today (Thursday 18 September) published the new Quality Improvement Framework.

The Care Inspectorate is due to publish the final version of the new Quality Improvement Framework in the coming weeks, designed to independently assure the quality of care, support and learning that children receive in childcare settings. In advance of this milestone, Graeme has written the following blog as a message to SCMA members and the wider childminding workforce, to both reassure and highlight the importance of SCMA’s involvement in this key piece of work.
