The Healthcare Commission and the Commission for Social Care Inspection have published their national review of adult specialist community mental health services. The findings show that, since the introduction of the National Service Framework for mental health, there has been a steady improvement in the range and quality of such services for those who need them and Local Implementation Teams appear to be an effective vehicle for commissioning and delivering new models of community mental health. However, the pace of change and improvement has been variable, leaving some people with little or no access to care and treatment.

This is the outcome of a consultation on changing the regulatory framework for adult social care services. The consultation set out proposals aimed at enabling the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) to target more of its resources on helping poorer providers to improve. The present inflexible rules oblige it to treat all providers alike, regardless of the quality of their services. The Government wants CSCI to be able to decide how often it inspects particular providers, using a robust system of risk assessment. The current the requirement for inspections every year is therefore being removed, but there will instead be a requirement that all providers are inspected at least once every three years. This will mean less physical inspection for providers that are good. Some providers will receive more inspection. And CSCI will still be able to carry out random inspections without warning. This document provides a summary of the responses to the consultation on changes to the Regulatory Framework for Adult Social Care Services. The consultation asked for views and comments on the proposed regulations.

The registration and inspection of residential care services for vulnerable adults rests with local government, but in 2002 responsibility passes to the new Commission for Care Standards. This article looks at how inspection units understand and respond to adult protection issues, considers how they contribute to multi-agency adult protection and speculates on how the planned changes will impact on policy and practice.
