The
national charity Action on Elder Abuse (AEA) has today welcomed the
Commission for Social Care Inspection’s (CSCI) proposals to implement a
scheme which will introduce quality ratings for care providers in The
system, which will score services on a scale from 1 – 4, will give the
public an ‘at a glance’ picture of how providers are rated overall. Said
chief executive of Action on Elder Abuse, Gary FitzGerald
“This is great news and we welcome this initiative by CSCI. The new
system, a well-known and well-understood concept, will introduce yet more
transparency for informing a discerning public and that has to be a good
thing.
“If we’re selective in our choice of hotels – and those
establishments are keen to vie for high ratings as an indication of their
quality and reliability – then it follows that service providers in the
care industry should welcome an opportunity to similarly demonstrate what
they have to offer.
“Having a system which lets people compare services is both good
for the client as well as keeping the industry at an optimum. We shall be
making a contribution to the consultation and look forward to the outcome of
that”. The
consultation, which will last for three months and closes on
