If you are arranging your own home care, you may want to check whether an agency is registered and therefore meets national minimum standards. For more details select the link called 'Commission for Social Care Inspection' on the right of this page.

The Commission for Social Care Inspection (formerly the National Care Standards Commission) registers all home care agencies that meet national standards. Hertfordshire County Council only uses registered and contracted agencies.
