Perth and Kinross, meeting two
April 2018
Similar to our meeting in East Renfrewshire, in this session, we were joined by Henry Mathias, Head of Professional Practice and Standards at the Care Inspectorate.
Henry gave the group an introduction to the standards and insight into the rationale behind their development. The group then had time to ask questions and to discuss what they had been told.
