Section three Strengthing the NPM of an inspection assessment framework, specifically the use of rating scales, in facilitating improvements in quality of care outcomes in health and social care. Findings from the project will be used to inform the development of RQIA’s inspection framework. In support of this work, and in partnership with Ulster University, RQIA initiated a project to develop a riskadjusted, dynamic and responsive (RADaR) framework to identify, quantify and respond to regulatory risks more robustly. This will allow RQIA to identify those services where the quality of care is poor or changing and as such may require additional inspection. A pilot RADaR inspection framework was developed, which will be tested and refined during 2018–19, prior to its development for use across all of RQIA’s inspection programmes. international standards, including CAT and OPCAT, in their work. SHRC produced a guide to help advocates effectively support people to secure their rights, including those in detention. In addition to work to strengthen its inspection methodology and framework, RQIA continued its regular programme of inspections, undertaking inspections of all wards where people are detained and examining over 11,000 patient detention, assessment and holding forms. RQIA also joined inspections of Maghaberry and Magilligan Prisons, examining the provision of health care. The Scottish Human Rights Commission (SHRC) continued to work jointly with HMIPS to undertake inspections of prisons in Scotland, particularly focusing on equality and diversity. SHRC provided assistance to HMIPS in ensuring its revised standards for inspection and monitoring were human rights-based. In addition, SHRC held capacity building and workshop events with members of the Scottish Parliament and public authorities to raise the significance of 45
