Inspection Reports

Fortunately we are not the only ones who have a high opinion of our service. Since the government began regulating fostering services Chrysalis Care has had six inspections. Since October 2003 our service has never been found to have any shortfall in any aspect of its operation. The conclusion of our last inspection in November 2007 was that we provided an ‘outstanding’ service. Here are some of the summaries from the reports.
