Become a young inspection volunteer

We inspect care and social work services to make sure they are high quality and meet the needs of people who use them.  We believe we can make care better by working with people who have personal experience of care.

Our involvement and equalities charter outlines how we involve people who use care services and informal carers in our work.

If you have personal experience of using a service or you have cared for someone close who has used a service, there are many ways you can get involved with us.  You do not have to have any qualifications. You must be aged between 18-27 to apply.
