About this toolkit

The Care Inspectorate’s senior improvement advisor for dementia and dementia practice development group will oversee the ongoing development and updating of the toolkit. Decisions about substantial updates and developments will be escalated to the Executive Director of Assurance and Improvement if required.

There will be regular reviews of the toolkit content to ensure they are based on the best available evidence. This will be informed by our Advisory Groups and dementia practice development group.

The toolkit has been signed off by the Care Inspectorate’s Executive Director of Assurance and Improvement in April 2026.
