Terms of use
Last updated 17 April 2026
About these terms
These terms govern your use of the DepScore website and waitlist. They are a placeholder and will be replaced with full service terms before the paid product launches. By using the site you agree to these terms.
Methodology & intellectual property
DepScore implements the Augmented Indicator of Relative Need (Augmented IoRN) methodology developed by ISD Scotland, published under Crown Copyright (2009) and the Open Government Licence v3.0. The methodology itself is not proprietary to DepScore.
The DepScore software, name, brand marks, and website are owned by DepScore. You may reference them in your CQC evidence packs and internal governance documents; you may not reproduce the software or present it as your own.
Not clinical advice
DepScore supports governance and staffing decisions. It does not replace clinical judgement, nor does it constitute clinical, regulatory, or legal advice. Responsibility for staffing decisions remains with the registered manager and nominated individual.
Availability
We aim for high availability but make no guarantee that the website or tool will be uninterrupted. Scheduled maintenance windows will be communicated where possible.
