Guidance logs (formerly known as precedent logs) are used by inspectors to apply the National Minimum Standards. Inspectors use the logs when queries arise about the interpretation of a particular standard, or where clarification is needed on how a particular aspect of a service should be inspected against the standards.

Key Lines of Regulatory Assessment (KLORA) provide a guide to benchmark the judgement categories for each outcome group when assessing a care service. They will support inspectors with their judgement and help them to form an overview of the service. The KLORA have been developed in consultation with residents, providers of services and inspectors.

Whilst care homes are improving the information they give to prospective residents, advertised fees for places in the same care home can vary hugely, sometimes from £650 to £1,500 a week, without a clear explanation of why some people pay more than others and what their money will buy. The report also showed that sometimes people paying for their own care can subsidise those people paid for by the local council, where councils negotiate lower rates. In areas without enough care services to meet demand, even those people moving into care homes who are funded by the council can be asked to pay ‘top-up’ fees to cover higher charges – as many as 75% of homes in some areas required a ‘top-up’.

This report shows that people today looking ahead to older age have high expectations of the social care services they might receive. They strongly value independence and choice. They would choose to receive care intheir own homes rather than move into a care environment. And they want services that suit their needs and respect their rights. People clearly want rigorous inspection of social care services, too. They want frequent inspections, with little or no notice given to those responsible for the service. However, they also want inspections to be carried out differently, they want the balance to shift more towards talking to the people using the service and their families, and spending time simply observing what goes on, and away from checking paperwork. Britain’s population is ageing and people are living longer than ever before. The largest group of adult users of social care is people aged 65 or over, an age group that is predicted to increase by 43 per cent by 2026. Demographic trends and people’s expectations pose an urgent challenge to everyone involved in developing social care policy, in planning and delivering services, and in inspecting and regulating those services
