Regulatory Reset | What providers need to know about the CQC’s draft changes

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is undertaking a significant reset, introducing draft changes that are expected to reshape how providers are assessed, monitored, and inspected.

For adult social care providers, these developments represent an important shift in regulatory approach. With the proposed reintroduction of sector-specific frameworks, changes to how evidence is gathered, and a renewed emphasis on professional judgement, providers need to understand what these changes could mean in practice and how best to prepare.

Delivered by Care England in partnership with WorkNest, this webinar provides a clear and practical overview of the proposed reforms, explains what is currently known about the draft changes, and explores the steps providers can take to remain inspection-ready while preparing for the future.

Well-Led in the CQC Framework

Changes to how Well-led is assessed under the CQC’s single assessment framework have become a major focus for providers.

 With inspectors placing greater weight on leadership, governance, and organisational culture, expectations around what constitutes effective leadership have evolved. As inspections increasingly use these areas to judge whether services are safe, effective, and sustainable, providers need to be clear on what is required in practice.
