| Annotation | People normally use criminal justice accommodation as a condition of an order or licence, so such services are provided to those assessed as unable to live independently in the community. Accommodation includes 24-hour staffed hostels, supported tenancies, and bed and breakfast places. The National Care Standards Committee (NCSC) has developed these standards with the help of a number of working groups including both users and service providers. The standards describe what each individual can expect from the service provider, focusing on the quality of life. The standards are based on a set of principles, the main ones being dignity, privacy, choice, safety, realising potential, and equality and diversity. Reference is made to the roles of the Scottish Commission for the Regulation of Care which will register and inspect services, and the Scottish Social Services Council which will have responsibility for promoting high standards of conduct and practice among social workers.
