Our Chief Inspector of Adult Social Care, Andrea Sutcliffe, said: “I am delighted to have successfully appointed such a talented bunch of people who will work with me and the rest of the team in transforming the way adult social care services in England are monitored and inspected.
“They each bring with them a wealth of experience from their roles in regulation, service provision and professional leadership.
“Together, we are determined to use regulation to encourage improvement, celebrate success, take action where necessary – and above all – ensure services are being delivered in a way for people that are safe, caring, effective, responsive and well-led.”
