CSCI star ratings

CSCI proposals for star ratings can be found here.

Plans by CSCI to develop a star rating system to judge care providers on how well they run their services were recently approved by CSCI Commissioners.
CSCI plans to invite people who use services, providers and councils to help them make sure the system is run properly and checked thoroughly by everyone involved.
A public consultation on star ratings was launched in August and nearly 3,000 people are reported to have supported the use of stars to describe ratings.

A survey of over 1,000 people found 96% want as much information as possible when making choices about services.
Dame Denise Platt said: “These new star ratings will be of significant benefit to people who use social care services, both now and in the future - so that they can make informed choices about the quality of care services in their area.”

CSCI will use a star ratings system ranging from 0-3 and use extra words such as poor, adequate, good and excellent to show what each star means.
