Journalists posing as Care Inspectorate staff

The Care Inspectorate advised today that they have been alerted of instances where journalists have telephoned services posing as a Care Inspectorate employee in order to obtain information about COVID-19 within the service. Please share this alert with all your staff. If you receive a call from someone claiming to be from the Care Inspectorate employees and you don’t already know them, you can ask the caller to email you.  Their staff email addresses end with @careinspectorate.gov.scot  Any email not ending with this is not from a Care Inspectorate email account.
