The Care Inspectorate (formally known as Social Care and Social Work Improvement Scotland) was set up in April 2011 by the Scottish Government as a single regulatory body for social work and social care services, including child protection and the integration of children's services. The new organisation took on work in these areas previously carried out by: *Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Education (HMIE) *the Social Work Inspection Agency (SWIA) and *The Care Commission == Background == "The Scottish Commission for the Regulation of Care," known as "The Care Commission," carried out the legal duty to regulate specific care services in Scotland between 2002 and 2011. The Care Commission began work in April 2002 as an independent regulator under the Regulation of Care (Scotland) Act 2001. The key principles of the Commission in regulating care services were threefold; keeping people safe; promoting dignity and choice, and supporting independence.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Regulation of Care (Scotland) Act 2001 )〕 The Social Work Inspection Agency (SWIA) had the remit to inspect all social work services in Scotland, and to report publicly and to parliament on the quality of these services, locally and nationally. Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Education (HMIE) in Scotland had the remit of scrutinising education services, and had a specific role to monitor child protection services. It was the latter function which was transferred to the Care Inspectorate (SCSWIS) in 2011. The Public Services Reform (Scotland) Act 2010 came into force in April 2011. It aimed to reduce and to streamline the number of Government agencies, including the different regulators. As a result, the previous work of the Care Commission, of SWIA and of HMIE (children's services remit) were absorbed into the new Social Care and Social Work Improvement Scotland (SCSWIS). Care services in the country became regulated by SCSWIS, who from 15 September 2011, adopted the simpler working name of the Care Inspectorate.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About Us )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Care Inspectorate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
