A Benchmark for Excellence in Care
The Social Care Common Inspection Framework (SCCIF) is a crucial tool used by Ofsted to assess the quality of care provided in various social care settings, including children’s homes, fostering agencies, adoption services, and residential special schools. It ensures that children and young people receive the best possible care and support, focusing on their experiences, safety, and overall progress. For schools and care providers, SCCIF is not just a compliance framework—it’s a benchmark for excellence in care.
