Duty of Candour

Starting from 1st April 2019, nurseries must, by law, produce a short annual report showing the learning from their duty of candour incidents that year, publish it, and notify the care inspectorate that it has been published.  You can find out more about Duty of Candour on the Care Inspectorate website
