- Summary
- The Department of Health and Children and the Social Services Inspectorate in conjunction with representatives of the Health Boards have developed these National Standards for the inspection of children’s residential centres, both statutory and nonstatutory. Under the Child Care Act, 1991, the Social Services Inspectorate is responsible for inspecting children’s residential centres that are managed by the Health Boards. Centres managed by voluntary or private agencies are inspected by Health Board Inspectors. These National Standards will be used for the purpose of inspecting all children’s residential centres and will replace any previous standards that had been developed by the Social Services Inspectorate and Health Boards for the purpose of inspecting children’s residential services.
