The Care Inspectorate registers and inspects care services in Scotland and publishes the services it regulates together with their inspection grades. It is the Scottish counterpart for social care that Healthcare Improvement Scotland is for independent healthcare.
Domain Rating is a dated Ahrefs snapshot of domain authority. PetroHrys Score is an independent editorial assessment of the directory’s practical business value. They are separate measurements and are never combined. Domain Rating values are dated historical Ahrefs snapshots. Domain Rating is a dated historical measurement of the shared domain, not an assessment of this individual registry page. New measurements are not collected because the Research Center does not depend on mandatory authenticated APIs. Where several registries are published on one measured domain they repeat that domain’s single dated snapshot rather than each carrying a figure of its own. Domain Rating is a third-party metric produced by their respective providers, not by PetroHrys.com. Each recorded value carries its provider and the date it was measured, and describes the domain that was measured rather than one page on it. No source has been consulted for authority score, estimated traffic and referring domains, so they are not published for any record.
Not established The overall access position has not been established from an official source. It is recorded as unknown rather than assumed to be open.
Assessment
Strengths
It is the statutory regulator that registers and inspects care services in Scotland, and publishes provider information and inspection grades.
It gives Scotland a dedicated care register that no United Kingdom-wide body provides.
Provider-level information sits alongside individual service entries.
Limitations
The service search is a client-rendered application that was not exercised, so its access behaviour, fields and fee position are not established here.
The site carried a beta notice when this record was verified, so its structure and URLs may still change.
It covers Scottish care services only, and does not cover independent healthcare in Scotland, which is regulated separately.
Registration means a service is registered with the Care Inspectorate and subject to inspection. It does not establish that the service is currently compliant, safe or well run.

The PetroHrys Score is a first-party editorial assessment, not a third-party
authority metric. It is the weighted sum of the ten factors above, divided by ten, so the number
on this page is reproducible from the values shown. Each factor is scored from 0 to 10 by a human reviewer and weighted as shown. The definitions describe what was weighed, not a rubric: no threshold or formula maps a directory onto a value, and two reviewers could reach different numbers. The score is reproducible from the factors shown on every record, but it is an editorial judgement, not a measurement.
