The National Care Standards Committee was set up by the Scottish Government to develop national standards in collaboration with a number of working groups including service users and service providers. They are designed to be from the point of view of service users to help them to understand what they can expect from the service provider. They may also be of use to service providers to help them know what is expected of them. The standards in this publication cover care homes for people with mental health problems. These services provide accommodation together with nursing and personal care or support to people with mental health problems. People with mental health problems may choose to stay in a care home permanently, or for regular planned short breaks. Staff should be able to cater for individual’s changing needs so they should not have to move if they become ill. The standards are grouped under 4 headings: before moving in; settling in; day-to-day life; and moving on.

These National Minimum Standards are issued by the Welsh Assembly Government under section 23 of the Care Standards Act 2000. They apply to all care homes providing accommodation and nursing or personal care for adults aged 18 to 65 years who have physical disabilities, sensory disabilities, learning disabilities, autistic spectrum disorders, mental health problems, alcohol or substance misuse problems, HIV/AIDS, or dual and/or complex multiple disabilities. The standards cover: choice of home; individual needs and choices; lifestyle; personal and health care support; staffing; conduct and management of the home; concerns, complaints and protection; and environment. The standards are underpinned by a number of crosscutting themes: focus on service users, fitness for purpose, comprehensiveness, positive choice, meeting assessed needs, quality services, and quality workforce. There are supplementary standards for care homes accommodating young people aged 16 and 17 years.

The Mental Capacity Act Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards came into force in April 2009, providing for the lawful deprivation of liberty of those people who lack capacity to consent to arrangements made for their care or treatment in hospitals or care homes, but who need to be deprived of liberty in their own best interests to protect them from harm. Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) and local authorities have statutory responsibility for operating and overseeing the safeguards, while hospitals and care homes have responsibility for applying to a PCT or local authority for a Deprivation of Liberty authorisation, and there is a statutory requirement for all hospitals, care homes, PCTs and local authorities to keep comprehensive records for every person deprived of their liberty. The Department of Health has developed a number of standard forms to ensure compliance with the safeguards and promote a consistent approach to record keeping, and the Care Quality Commission has responsibility for monitoring and reporting on the operation of the safeguards. This paper provides guidance on making returns for monitoring purposes, and the data will be used by the Care Quality Commission to inform the evidence base for monitoring the operation of the safeguards and to report on activity.
