This report presents the Care Commission's first full year of grading results. It examines the grades that registered services achieved in the first full year of grading up to 31 March 2009. The information is broken down in various ways in order to compare grades across service groups, types, local authority, private and voluntary sectors and local authority areas. The grading results reveal which types of services are achieving good grades and which have greater room for improvement. The report also considers services performing at the extremes of the grading spectrum, whether unsatisfactory or weak, or very good or excellent.
