The Care Inspectorate has published its  yearly review of its ELC Improvement Programme.

The overarching aim of the ELC improvement programme is to support funded settings across Scotland to improve the quality of ELC and meet the National Standard. The programme focuses on providing targeted support for those settings currently, or at risk of, not meeting the National Standard through a programme of sessions and peer support opportunities.

The review looks at the work undertaken by the programme team during 2024-2025 and provides recommendations to the Scottish Government to inform future funding decisions about the value and future potential of the programme.
