In Scotland, there are three main organisations that check and inspect social care support.
These organisation are called 'regulators'.
- Care Inspectorate – makes the rules for care services in Scotland and inspects them to make sure they meet the right standards

They also do inspections with other regulators to check how well different organisations in local areas work to support adults and children.
- Healthcare Improvement Scotland - the inspection and improvement regulator for health.
