This inspection report focuses on services for older people in twenty-one local authorities. It focuses in particular on how social services are responding to the national agenda set out in the November 1998 White Paper 'Modernising social services'. It analyses what has improved for older people and their carers, and what factors promoted and inhibited improvement. The biggest message from the inspection was that the majority of social services departments had responded to the White Paper by creating or expanding independence by promoting services targeted at prevention and rehabilitation. This was appreciated by service users but was not yet large scale. The report contains many illustrations of good practice, including user focused residential care, assessment and care planning, culturally responsive services, public information and promoting independence.

The SSI set standards for each national inspection and evaluate quality of services against those standards. SSI standards are: statements of quality of services expected; derived from government policy, legislation and regulation (including national objectives and national service frameworks), and current knowledge of research and good practice; concerned with the same domains of the performance assessment framework, i.e. national priorities and strategic, cost and efficiency, effectiveness of service delivery and outcomes, quality of services for users and carers and fair access. SSI standards are specified prior to inspections so that social services departments and agencies understand the basis on which their services are being inspected. They are made widely available, in our published reports and via this web site, so that they can be used as a tool by all local councils to assess their own standards and audit their progress.
