The Care Inspectorate has recently published its first report on adoption services in Scotland.
There are 39 services currently in operation in Scotland and the report found that the majority were performing well and had received good grades during their inspections.
The Care Inspectorate has the power to investigate complaints against all care services, including anonymous complaints if necessary. There have been no upheld complaints in the last three years in relation to adoption services. The last upheld complaint against an adoption service was in April 2010.
