title: The state we're in.
abstract: It is a bold and confident approach by the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) to use 'the state of social care' as the title for its first annual statutory report, as the term could very easily be construed in a negative and pejorative way ( CSCI 2005 ). But this report sets out to 'tell it like it is' - highlighting gaps, expressing worries about variations across the country or between neighbouring districts, and at the same time praising improvement and noting good practice.
