Duty of Candour

Published: April 5, 2019, 4 p.m.

On 11 March, Stuart Muirhead from Iriss hosted a group discussion on the Duty of Candour with representatives from the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC), the Coalition of Care and Support Providers (CCPS), the Care Inspectorate and Care Concern Group.

We hear more about the Duty of Candour provisions which set out what needs to happen when unexpected or unintended harm has occurred to a person, and the views of organisations that represent the health and social care workforce in Scotland.

In partnership, the SSSC has produced an e-learning module on the Duty of Candour to support implementation.
